Hey all,
I was surfing today and found this hat at Burberry.com. They want $180.00 for it! It's really interesting and I wonder if anyone has seen a pattern like this before. Through the link you can zoom in and get a better look.

It looks to me as though it has been knit in sections, then braided and brought together on the crown.

I think you are right - and

I think you are right - and it's about 54 stitches around - alternating 5 k w/7 purl after the 1 x1 rib at the brim; maybe 50 rows total. about an hour and a half's work, tops I would think.
wish I could get that kind of money for knitting.

Should have had a better look it is an enterlac but it is alternating sections of stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch.
