All over slipped stitches coupled with a super comfy double thick brim and brushed alpaca silk create a perfectly ghostly hat that’s kitten-soft next to your skin.

Sizes

The brim is slightly smaller than the hat’s body circumference so it fits smoothly on your head. If you prefer a slouchier, less fitted hat, choose a size larger than your actual head circumference.
