When I lived in Brighton in the UK I lived in a flat in Canning Street. It was a lovely road and many a summer evening was spent sitting on the front steps with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. I experienced my first snow whilst living in that road, so I thought I would dedicate this hat pattern to Canning Street and all who lived there! (Note: My gorgeous son modeled the hat for me but it's actually an adult size. A bit slouchy for a 12 year old but snug for an adult!)
