The Pappus Hat draws its inspiration from the journey of the dandelion. As the feathery pappus of its seeds are blown into the breeze, each weightless sail drifts through the sky, careening over the land to an unknown and exciting destination.

Pappus is a fitted cap that features a slip stitch pattern in the body and simple crown decreases. The brim is knit holding one strand of fingering weight yarn and one strand of mohair (or suri) held double, and the body is worked using alternating rows of mohair and fingering to create a delicate slip stitch pattern.
