“The original “right side” of Quill shows careful, possibly timid steps, back and forth towards the crown. When I was done, and turned it “wrong side” out to weave in the last end, I noticed that the arrows took on a new depth, charging forward and back in a determined gait.” This reversible, textured hat is so cozy. I hope you love it as much as I do!
