Phoenix Bess

Josephine Fascinator

This splendid bagatelle is a mere blip of a knit, but what dramatic results, and what fun to make! "It's sort of a cross between a hat and a hair clip embellished with feathers, flowers, or a veil," explains Bess. "Fashionable women around the globe wear fascinators to cocktail parties, the races, and weddings. But, you can wear yours anywhere you want to be noticed." The knitting of this piece could not be easier. The crafting of it is terrific amusement and requires only the most elementary of sewing skills-- and a few odds and ends you'll be delighted to get.
