This beautiful hat and mitten combo are named in honour of Geneva Misener (1878–1961). As the first female professor at the University of Alberta and a champion for women’s rights, we know she kept a cool head in debate and had a firm handshake! Beautiful cables on a reverse stockinette background ornament these warm accessories. The hat fits perfectly and doesn’t mess up your hair; the mittens have a pleasing symmetry and flat top finger construction. You’ll make a statement, just like Geneva.
