"A unisex hat that began life as a Christmas present for my father. Such a challenge to make the “perfect” present for a very special person. I settled on the school colors where I grew up and he was a teacher. In the large size, I even snuck in some hugs and kisses, known in Fair Isle as OXO. Individual charts for average (pictured) and small adult included.” ~Joan
