As we wind down the winter season, I wanted to create one last pair of patterns. Taking inspiration from the last throes of winter and first blooms of spring, I also wanted this hat to be timeless and stash friendly. It also has addicting colorwork that makes this hat knit up very fast, so you can get it on your head before the snow melts.
