He wants what she has, and she wants what he has. Sound familiar? The Siblings hat was designed with two such people in mind. This gender neutral hat is perfect for two people who struggle with sharing, whether they are little kids or just kids at heart. The pattern includes instructions for two hats: one with cables and one without. So which hat will you fight over?
