Daisy B with cutout - chenille

This is an offwhite chenille,  a braid of cotton and acrylic fibers woven with plastic threads.  It is a densely woven braid, thus a warm hat as wind doesn't go through it.   The edging is a velvet bias.   The braid is so resilient, holds up to rain and snow fabulously.   I have cut the side out after stitching a full hat shape, then the edging covers up the raw edge.
