This is yet another Wool and the Gang pattern I've completed. You can find the pattern for the crown hat here free of charge on their website.  This particular hat was a collaboration with Vivienne Westwood. She's one of the designers I admire.

Shipping to Australia took the usual time to arrive: about 2-3 weeks. As for the price, Wool and the Gang does not offer it cheap. Nevertheless, the quality is good and you get wha
