Hello there! I love creating festive inspired crochet pieces to not only wear, but to share with all! Gotta love the Holiday’s and all things inspired by everything that is in that spirit. This crochet hat was created to emulate candy cane stripes and I must say it is not only a cute Christmas acaccessory, but it is quite comfy to wear as well!
