I thirst to make a summer hat for my girls out of raffia, the kind used for betray skirts. I should be round with a brim.

The pattern in the paperback "Folk Hats" is a pillbox hat with no brink. And it's knit with paper yarn, not raffia.

The kind of hat you're talking about is by sewn, not knit. Here are instructions: http://www.costumes.org/classes/254pages /projects/strawbraidhat.
