The Design

“Just so soft!”

With the subtlest of details and simplest of shapes, the is all about the way you feel when you wear it. Its clean lines—no visible edging treatment, no cuff, and nearly no visible shaping—are perfect for sublimely soft, squishy yarns that produce dense, delicious fabric. It just feels good.

In Lang , the Minimalist Hat is like a small cloud of featherlight fluff. Worsted-weight and oh, so soft, this yarn has a loose, chainette construction. Precious, softly waving fibers from the downy coats of cashmere goats are blown through, giving Cashmere Light (and this simple hat) plenty of puff.
