My Second Bergère Hat

Love how this bergère hat came out. This is one of the designs that became stuck in my head while looking at extant hats and later in an allergen/Benadryl fog. I sewed through Saturday and Sunday to complete it. It is currently in my Etsy shop. 

I worked a fine straw plait over the outer brim in a zigzag. Looped fine plait encircles the crown.

I like how the different straw plaits play against each other, the texture and color of the two natural straws.

This bergère measures 13.5″ in diameter now that it is dry. The crown is just under 5″ across.  I did not wire this brim. Though, it could easily be wired.

  1. Oh, I love this! Such a subtle way to ornament the hat.
