The Ear Bonnet Series

The Seaside Collection brings the rhythmic beauty of coastal waters right to your needles with a series of stranded colorwork hats featuring organic, flowing motifs and distinct crown silhouettes. Inspired by oceanic elements—from swimming fish and gentle tides to undulating sea waves and organic scale, each design combines striking visual texture with thoughtful construction.

This hat features a structured texture. The body of the hat showcases a mosaic stitch pattern, which is achieved through slip-stitch colorwork, creating a bold checkerboard effect. It uses three colors: one neutral color and two contrasting accent colors.

The Poseidon Crown Hat features a graphic motif inspired by royal crowns and ocean waves. The design showcases a textured seed-stitch in two colors and rhythmic tapered colorwork pattern.
