Free Pattern Friday: Silly Hat Party

I have a dream, a dream of a future where silly hats are the norm, where the bareheaded are laughed at behind their backs and towering millinery reaches peaks of silliness only reached by chopins and poulaines

Towards this end I offer this week’s pattern, courtesy of Modern Knitter. While certainly not the most ridiculous hat offered here, I see it as the beginning of a slippery slope off the deep end towards silly hats.

OUR

FUTURE!

Ignore the signs at your peril.

Since I’m not sure how available millinery wire is (though goodness knows the internet has everything), coat hanger wire or a higher-gauge memory wire (used in jewelry making) might make good substitutes.
