The Aine hat (pronounced awn-yah) is inspired by my oldest daughter. She is an amazing person; part goof-ball, part old-soul and always creative, colorful, and fun. This hat invokes her spirit, with layers of texture that keep it interesting, and a whimsical style. It works with anything from the subtlest of colors, to the brightest speckled and variegated yarns around. I hope this hat brings to your needles even just a fraction of the joy that Aine brings to my life.
