Introducing the Fly Away Hat, a beautifully designed knit piece that captures the essence of the great outdoors. This charming hat is knit in the round and features a delightful fair isle motif, topped off with a playful pom pom. Inspired by the picturesque landscape of my own backyard in the serene woods of Maine, this design draws upon the rich tapestry of local wildlife and the variety of bird species that grace our surroundings. As the seasons change and the leaves transition into vibrant hues, many of our feathered friends migrate south to spend the winter in warmer climates, leaving behind a beautiful scene that this hat captures in its design. Embrace the season with the Fly Away Hat, a perfect homage to nature's beauty!
