Nosegay Bucket Hat

Nosegays were small bunches of flowers carried close, and this bucket hat takes the name to heart. Every panel picks its own ground, magenta, olive, royal blue, cream, and each holds a single bloom in raised stitches. Yellow seams run between them like sunlight between beds in a cottage garden. Nothing matches, and that is the pleasure of it; the eye wanders and keeps finding something new. The floppy brim sits soft over the eyes on bright days, and the cotton blend keeps it breathable. Made by hand, square by square, so no two hats come together the same way.
