This soft, thick, warm beanie is made from homespun wool. I intentionally left the gorgeous colors unblended for a unique, artistic look.
There is a stockinette rectangle nestled in the ribbing. It is your billboard. You could embroider, monogram, sew, quilt, attach items, attach a label, etc., in this space.
I ordered custom labels with gromets to add to mine after the knitting was complete. You can also use the ones that are sewn on.
Lengthen it if you prefer a slouch; decrease the “billboard” if you prefer a smaller label space. Make it your own!

PS I’m making these for gifts;)
