This hat is a celebration of all things Canadian.
If you were to ask one of us Canucks, what symbols best represent Canada, all our answers would be different. So, I would be doing all lovers of Canada a disservice by only offering one design. That’s why this pattern offers 20 different colourwork charts, so you can build YOUR Canada.

From a variety of Names and Sayings (Canuck, eh!) to definitively Canadian sports (Hockey, Lacrosse, Curling) to symbols representing our Land and diverse Cultures (Mountains, Trees, Totem Poles, Inukshuks) you will be able to build a hat that tells everyone, ‘This is My Canada.’

I hope you enjoy the pattern
