Plum Bucket Hat

At the heart of every square sits a small magenta cross, and everything else seems to radiate from it: cream, then lilac, then dusty pink, opening like shells around a seed. The ground is a teal-blue that feels like dusk over water. The brim of this bucket hat shifts register into clean stripes of cream, plum and pink, a quieter rhythm beneath the flowers, closed by a bright magenta rim. Loosely worked and light to wear, it suits autumn knits and those in-between weeks when a coat feels like too much. Hand-crocheted by women artisans, so no two squares repeat exactly.
