the City Lights hat
Inspired by the excitement & bright lights of a fun and lively city at night!
The City Lights hat features a slip stitch pattern design utilizing a combination of two contrasting color yarns - a solid with a speckle or variegated, to create an interesting texture and color play.
This hat is designed to fit as a beanie with just a little bit of slouch.
The City Lights hat is offered in four sizes ranging from child small to adult large.
In collaboration with Nature’s Luxury Yarn.
