The name of this hat is an acronym that comes with both a story and a pun.
When I first knit this pattern, I thought it had a rather random, perhaps slightly floral, motif. I knit it twice, gave it a name, and sent it out into the world for testing.
It was then that a lovely group of testers informed me that what they saw in the hat was actually sheep—lots and lots of sheep. This both surprised and delighted me. Now that I’ve seen it, that’s all I can see.
Which leaves me with one question: Did Ewe See It?
