Perfect hat for a fun game…..and be sure to check out the Curling Mittens for a perfect set.

Curling is a sport where players slide granite stones down a sheet of ice toward a target, known as the “house.” Teams score points through positioning their stones closer to the center of the target than the opposing team. Sweeping is used to increase the distance and/or influence the path the stone travels. Curling ice is noticeably different from skating ice. The ice is made as level as possible, then sprinkled with droplets of water (pebble) that freezes on contact. Pebbling creates small bumps on the ice surface that allow the running edge of the stone (about five inches in diameter) to easily slide—or glide—down the ice.
