The Isabella Hat is a chic and practical accessory for the sunny season. Crafted with paper raffia yarn, this brimmed summer hat is not only lightweight but also radiates simplicity and elegance. Its design features a combination of chains, single crochet stitches, back loop only single crochet stitches, and slip stitches, making it accessible for crocheters of all skill levels.

The hat's edge is reinforced with brimlock millinery wire, ensuring it retains its shape beautifully. Brimlock wire is a transparent wire, which can be found in millinery supply shops. The millinery wire connector can be found in millinery supply shops as well. A video tutorial that guides you through the process of inserting the wire is included.
