Sometimes you just need another hat. When I realized that I didn’t have a warm, easy-to-wear hat that was pretty enough to wear with my nice coat, I took it as a challenge. The resulting design - Meredith - meets all of these requirements and more. It fits warm and close like a traditional beanie, with a dainty contrasting band and a decorative button to add some individual splash.

Add to that an unusual method of construction and a simple but beautifully textured stitch pattern, and you have a hat that’s as fun to make as it is to wear. (It’s my new favorite!)
