‘Nice Package’ Hat
Description
Master milliner Stephen Jones contributed the eighth in our series of downloadable patterns. A ‘cut and sew’ creation that requires no specialist millinery materials or training to realise its stunning form, Jones’ hat is an exaggeration on the classic beret.
Inspired by his own lilac hatboxes and drawn from his A/W 11 own-label collection, Jones titles this tour de force of millinery invention Nice Package.
