My mom is one of the most incredible humans in the world. She is time and time again the person I turn to for advice, when I have a funny story, when I need to cry after a hard day, or if I just need to talk to someone. The people who care for us are superheroes. This hat was designed especially for my mom, my superhero, but is meant to celebrate the special people in our lives who go the distance to shape us into the people we are today. This unisex hat pattern includes three sizes but with instructions in the pattern, it can be altered easily to fit any size needed. Designed with Hudson + West Co’s Forge line, this worsted weight hat is incredibly warm and cozy, the perfect knit gift for Mother’s Day or the special person in your life.
