Created for the 2014 Madrona Fiber Arts Winter Retreat, this pair of hats was inspired by our namesake native tree.

Which Madrona tree will you be?

Cap has a folded hem edge, textured garter stitch bands, contrast crown and an asymmetrical pattern band.

Helmet sports a wide symmetrical pattern band, tipped-edge rib trim, and short-row earflaps.

Both hats are finished with jaunty tassels.
