The Cullinan Fedora is crocheted top down with a tight gauge to create a sturdy but comfortable fabric. The typical shape of the hat crown bent downwards in the middle is achieved by steaming. The wide brim is shaped and stabilized using hat wire. This is the first of five designs forming part of the Cullinan Collection. The diamond shape in the mosaic work was the inspiration behind the name. The biggest diamond ever found in South Africa (my home country) was named the Cullinan Diamond.

SIZE
One size fits most adults. It is easily adjustable by using a lighter weight yarn.
