This is fun and cozy colorwork hat designed to match the cowl of the Amor Propio, meaning self-love in Spanish, Collection. Knitting has helped me along my journey to loving myself. It has taught me how to meditate, heal, and to be kind to myself. Loving each other, ourselves and taking care of our mental health matters especially during times like these. Through this design, I hope to spread a message of self-love to others. We have to have hope and be there for each other. I hope you enjoy knitting and practicing self-love!
