Chesapeake Cap pattern

“This hat was inspired by a friend’s photo that she took while kayaking on one of the feeder bays to the Chesapeake. It was a gorgeous late autumn day with a clear blue sky and the marshlands showing their gold colors. The crown sports kayak paddles and a five pointed star, perfect for the Chesapeake’s proximity to our nation’s capitol." ~Joan
