Symbolism + Inspiration
Inspired by the need to warm up follicly challenged leaders, Team Bernie’s hat includes a double thick brim that is either knitted or lined with fleece. The hat, which was knit with fiber from rescued llamas, symbolizes earthy goodness, kindness, respect and accessibility to a quality life for all beings great and small.

Highlights
This unisex hat is knit in the round and will fit most adults. The brim starts with 1/2 of a Latvian braid to add texture and the illusion of sewed construction. The color work blends beautifully to yield a snowflake topped crown.
