October is National Bully Prevention month. #hatnothate (https://hatnothate.org/) is an amazing organization that rallies fiber artists around the country to knit and crochet blue hats to be distributed and worn by kids during the month of October. What an amazing sight of blue to combat bullies!
For #hatnothate 2021, we have designed 16 unique beanies for the cause. Here is our cabled beanie collection – 3 unique patterns in blue!
These beanies have a final height of 8.5-9 inches and a flat circumference of 18 inches for more of a slouch effect than form fitting beanie.
