After weeks of chilly and gray winter, the sparkle of new snow has gone and I’m hoping for spring! Just as I think spring may never come, birds start to chirp and the sun pokes out from behind the clouds! This hat was inspired by the late winter sun, a hope for warmer temperatures and the new growth that spring will bring! The lightweight, lacy texture is perfect for those late winter, early spring days when there’s still a chill in the air but it’s not bitterly cold. I hope you’ll make it in your favorite bright spring color to help chase the winter blues away!
