Just The Way You Are is a cool, unisex hat that features a rhythmic texture that is easy to memorize and easy to modify if needed. Sharp decreases and other details give the crown a fun shape.

I gave this hat its name because sometimes it can be easy to be hard on one’s self, especially with all of the imagery out there on the newsstand and public media of what “beauty” or “success” is supposed to look like. I have fallen pray to feeling down on more than one occasion.

Sometimes it’s nice to have a reminder to love the skin you’re in and the beautiful you that you are.

My hope is that as you knit this hat and every time you put it on, you remember that you already are the amazing you that you are supposed to be!
