This Fair Isle hat was inspired by the Usonian houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Constructed with concrete blocks that had been formed with geometric designs, these homes also had warm wood detailing and light filtering through the many fragmented windows and were designed during the late 1930s to late 1950s.
