Off With Their Heads

The hearts and flouncy garden trellis motif of this hat have an “Alice in Wonderland” quality to them. Would the Queen of Hearts approve of this rich red hand-dyed yarn? Since she’s the villain, maybe not. Maybe she’d call out her famous line: “Off with their heads!” The finished hat is 17½ (19¾, 21¾, 24)”/ 44.5 (50, 55, 61)cm around and 9¾ (10, 10½, 10¾ )”/ 25 (25.5, 27, 27.5)cm deep.
