This hat tries to convey the sense of wonder nature brings and how fragile it is. We often don’t see the beauty right in front of us. Our lives are surrounded by ocean and sky that we often never see more than the surface of. This little bear is awed by the stars in the sky. Let’s all take a minute and look up tonight and see why….
Knit in Malabrigo Rios with their new solids line in mind (yay!), in five sizes. Both moon and star motifs are included as the point in the sky the bear is gazing at. This hat will change completely if the bear is knit in brown or black, changing from a polar bear to a forest bear! The field of stars is charted out, but if you miss a star or fleck or add one, just go with it. As long as the snow and stars are randomly placed, the finished product will look fine. Be your own designer, don’t get bogged down in the placement!

A moon is included that can be used in the sky instead of a star if desired.
