As much as we might enjoy snow and winter activities, there comes a time when we are hoping that spring will come soon.

This hat pattern, called “ODE TO SPRING”, helps to remind everybody of the joys to come and help you get through dull wintery weather.

Warm enough to get you through the cold, yet cheerful and bright.

Lovely flowers in a Scandinavian design adorn the hat.
