When you want to say everything, there is so much, you are at a loss for words - This hat is for you.

I wanted to knit a hat that was inspired by my husband. Endless ideas were scribbled in my pattern book and trying to put everything into one cohesive design seemed like an impossible task.

Then I got an idea.

I grabbed my phone, opened the voice memo app and recorded myself saying, “I Love You.”

When the soundwave lines appeared on the screen I took a quick screenshot and that Image was the inspiration behind the hat. For your loved ones, his hat says everything when there are infinite things to say.
