Ayr - DK Lace Hat Knitting Pattern

Ayr is knit from the bottom up in DK yarn and is sized from toddler to large adult. The pattern consists of simple lace stitches on every other row and moss stitch. As the ‘leaves’ grow up the hat they gradually get smaller and decrease into a flower shape on the crown. The pattern is both written and charted.
