This hat might be an ironic piece of knitwear, since the wolf is not nice to the sheep all us knitters
love. In itself, it is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. However, the wolf is a beautiful animal and has
been a symbol of the warrior in many cultures for centuries.
Despite its bad reputation, the wolf is not evil, it`s just doing what comes naturally to a wolf.
