I was so excited to ruminate on the theme of migration for the Farmer’s Daughter team with this hat. It got me thinking about the turning of the seasons and how transformative and magical it is that animals and plants just know what to do when the time is right. I think those in-between times give us a chance to release something, move forward, or grow. This hat was made for transitional seasons. The double brim will keep your ears toasty, while the lightweight cap won't feel too heavy.
Thank you so much for your support of the Returning Seasons and my other patterns! If you choose to share your finished or in progress hat on social media (and please do! I love to see you projects!), please use the hashtag #ReturningSeasonsHat and tag me. Seeing how you make these patterns your own is my biggest motivation.
