Custom Made Hummingbird, Swan, Flamingo, and Eagle Hats

Details

Dimensions:
Sizes vary depending if you want a slouchy or fitted hat, we gave you an idea of hat size by showing measurements in the pictures of hat we completed in the past.

I make custom hats just for you, I can change many things such as size, color, or pattern. Slouchy hats are made usually with worsted weight yarn and larger knitting needles. The fitted hats are made with DK weight yarn, which is a lighter weight yarn, and smaller needles. Just message me your color choice for primary yarn and pattern in comments. I will message you yarn color choices for you to choose from my current inventory. If you wish for colors I do not have on hand I will go to my local yarn shops and find a closer match to your request. Allow your imagination to be free!

The hummingbird, swan and flamingo hats are special designed hats by my sister Mara:) I am currently working on her swans in love design and hope to be adding it to this collection in the next 2 weeks. I designed the eagle hat in honor of my sister Mara and her love of these majestic birds! I have been able to recreate these special hats, keeping with her high standards of knitting. I have many colors of yarns on hand both in wool and acrylic. The wools I use are soft merino or baby alpaca that feel extremely soft when wearing items made from them. The acrylics I use are also extremely soft. I special order pompom that are made of faux fur that snap on so that you can easily wash your hat without ruining your pompom. If you choose this option, I will also message you pictures of pompom color choices. Since I am making this especially for you, I will not start knitting on your hat until I have all the information verified by you. Once I start knitting a hat, it typically takes me about 1 week to complete. I will message you a picture of your hat once completed and mail it off to you asap:)

Mara's design inspiration for these bird hats were her love for the outdoors. Mara has always liked flamingos. She even started collecting flamingo lawn ornaments, just because they made her giggle inside at the thought! Mara created the hummingbird hat in honor of our grandma, who would spend hours at her cabin window watching these mysterious little birds at her hummingbird feeder. Mara only knitted up one of these hats and gifted it to my daughter Sabrina. Mara enjoyed watching the gracefulness of swans. She loved the outdoors and everything nature!!! My heart was filled with the need to create this bald eagle hat. After Mara's death, I kept seeing them everywhere. It was like her spirit was whispering, you can do it too, create. So I began to draw out this pattern and then it just seemed to knit itself within my hands. This is the first hat that I designed that had an image within it. Each hat holds so many fun memories with Mara. Contact me and I can create one or more of these hats especially for you!! Each hat is unique so don't miss your opportunity to add one (or more)to your hat collection!
