Inspired by the photos of the little Russian girl’s sunhat I saw a few years ago when it went viral, I wanted to create my own unique summer sunhat. I’ve tried to make hats like this before and did manage an adult size hat with a similar design. I’d used Aunt Lydia’s thread for that and it turned out well…
Inspired by the success of the interlocking hearts design and because it’s springtime, I decided to create this beautiful linked butterfly design.

I started out making simple hats from other designers but quickly got bored and started creating my own. This Whirly Swirly baby hat is one of a few of the designs I came up with. I…
