I designed this hat in the break room at Børnehuset Emdrup Søgårds (a childrens day care center), as a consequence of seeing my coworkers with painfully red and cold ears on the playgrund. I decided to spend my breaks putting colors and patterns together for a lovely and warm hat that would ensure the survival of my poor, cold coworkers on the playground.
The hat has since been knit in a variety of colors and for a variety of people – day care teachers, a carpenter’s apprentice, a student and my little brother.
