Time to ditch the plastic!
This hat keeps kids (and female adults) toasty warm and, as it’s stretchy, will last for years to come…
The hat is knitted in Seersucker Stitch for a warm fabric and is topped with a bright, Seville Orange Pom-pom, the same vibrant colour of the hat brim.
The front of the hat features a spooky bat set against a sinking sun, scary enough for all wee trick or treaters…not to mention their Mums…or Dads if their heads are small…
The hat is a perfect, witching gift for a wife, daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend, or for trick or treat groups…
