Hat and Scarf Fashion

In a Minnesota winter, a hat is a necessary piece of clothing. But that doesn’t mean that it needs to be dull and boring. A hat can be a fashion accessory that helps define your personality. Adding a scarf also helps for warmth and is another way to accessorize your outerwear.

Over the past couple months, I have been busy making several hat and scarf sets. Some of these are listed for sale on this site. But, most have been donated to Minnesota Hats & Mittens organization. I use my own ideas for most of these projects. If you would like to duplicate them, I have included my patterns below each item.
