Inspired by the beautiful gardens of the same name in Saffron Walden, England, the Bridge End hat from the Mr B & Me collection is a deliciously squishy textured hat with three brim and two yarn options. It can be worn as a beanie or slouchy and has been sampled in both DK weight yarn and a strand of 4 ply held together with baby suri. Coordinating cowl pattern also available.
