Winter is on its way and I’m totally into Designing Hats. You just can’t have too many if you ask me. I wanted to design a lose fitting Beanie with an easy lace edge, fun color combination and top it off with a yummy pompom. I imagine this hat being perfect for ice skating, which I did a lot of when I lived in New York City. I even had an Ice Skating Birthday Party at Rockefeller Center.
