Northacres Hat

The name of this hat is inspired by a park in my neighborhood. When we first moved here, it was neglected and sad. After a major restoration project, it became an oasis of green and a center of activity for the growing local population of kids. When I walk on its wooded trail, I feel like I've gotten away from the city for a few minutes even though it is between a major arterial road and a highway.

The fabric of this hat is quite stretchy, so each size can acommodate a range of head size options. The photos here show the middle size (20") on my own 24" head - comfortable and still with plenty of slouch. Measurements in pattern are listed in both inches and centimeters.
