Beanie Hat - “Wickerl”
I created this beanie with natural colours and one bright
contrast colour to bring out more vividness. A hat for
animal lovers. It is a special design - I made one for my
dear cousin and the other for her husband. They love to
go hiking with their dog “Wickerl” in the Bavarian Alps.
I hope they will wear their hats when you are hiking in
the alps, so you can recognize them.
