Pinwheel Hat
HAT is 25% off price through 11:59 PM November 30, 2021 EST.
I have always loved watching pinwheels spin in the wind, the colors mixing and catching the eye as the breeze takes the petals. They remind me of so many things, Dutch windmills, summer days and carnivals. I was playing around with a design when I realized how pretty they looked as part of an all-over design. If the knitter wants, each row of pinwheels could be a different color.
Four sizes are included. Infant, Child, Adult, Large Adult
Large Adult size shown in photos above.
Always choose size based on final circumference.
