The hats have a snug, fitted shape with a folded brim. The defining feature is the two small “ears” at the top of the brim, which give the hats a charming, animal-inspired look. The hats are knitted with soft angora yarn, giving them a smooth texture and a slight fuzziness.
These hats are simple, appealing for children or anyone who enjoys a fun accessory.
