Spring is on the way, which makes all of us hopeful as we consider new life emerging. Many of us enjoy visiting the seaside during the first warm days of the season, and this hat will be warm against the sea breezes as we stroll along. Its shell pattern is perfect for wearing at the beach or anywhere else.

This hat is worked top down, and I used two colors: Andean Treasure in Verdant Heather and Prairie Heather, both left over from other projects, making this a great project for stash busting and using up bits & bobs.
