A note from the designer…

A Decade of Patterns - The Canon Years

In 2018 with three hat designs under my belt I decided to create something that was very meaningful to me. A hat created especially for my, then one year old, son. And just like that (with very little planning) Gremlin’s Slouchy Winter Hat came into existence. Why Gremlin? Well that was the nickname I gave my son before he was born because I was tired of everyone referring to him as an “it” because we didn’t know his gender. The name stuck as when I was pregnant I couldn’t eat anything in the evenings or I’d be sicker than a dog all night. Of course everyone knows you can’t feed gremlins after midnight for fear of them turning into monsters and in my case that’s exactly what happened in more ways than one. Newborn babies during their witching hours turn into gremlins too!
