As I'm running out of the door, it's absolutely essential that I grab a hat from the hat/scarves/gloves box. This particular hat came about because my partner is constantly losing his hats! A lovely unisex design that will suit any one, with a very simple and memorable stitch.Nice and Easy and extremely warm! Enjoy!
