Deb's Crown by Cat Bordhi

Cat designed this hat for her dear friend, Deb. Many of you know her as the talented caterer at Cat’s retreats. Deb brought me the hats and claims it is easily her favorite and she wears it all Fall and Winter.

Truth be told, we all need to wear a crown sometimes, right? Perhaps it is a birthday, a victory at work, getting a grandchild to nap or a pick-me-up for a friend who needs it.

Deb’s Crown is made in two pieces: The band is worked flat and joined to form the circlet, then stitches are picked up for joining to the cap, which is worked separately in the round from the center out. Both pieces use Judy’s Magic Cast-On. The cap and band are joined using a third needle, and then finished with Jeny’s Suprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off to assure a comfortable fit. It can be worked with any yarn and needle that give you a springy garter stitch fabric that you like.
