Enunciate
I want to make this perfectly clear: sometimes you just want a hat, FAST, because winter is on the way! But that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. The Enunciate hat features an undulating twisted rib brim in Aran weight for maximum squish around your ears. The brim mimics growing and drifting snowbanks, with a perfect snowflake made out of nupp stitches swirling down from the sky. Never done a nupp stitch? This is the perfect time to learn! Plus, I’ve got you covered with a video tutorial to show you how. Best of all, Enunciate is sized from preemie up to giant adult!
