Hello my dwindling handful of readers! I’m sorry I’ve been so absent, but I was thinking about this upcoming winter and how much I want your dear heads to be safe and warm. So I’m having a hat sale! Hand knitted (or crocheted) hats for a very reasonable price. Any size, any color, any style, any fiber content.

If you’re interested in a custom hat, send me a comment here or an e-mail at melsundquist (at) gmail (dot) com. Now for the details!

Prices will vary depending on yarn choice and pattern complexity, but here are by baseline** prices by size:

• BABY: (newborn – 1y) $8
• TODDLER: (2y-4y) 10$
• CHILD: (5y-12y) $12
• SMALL ADULT: (teens and most women) $14
• LARGE ADULT: $16

Specific prices will be determined on a custom basis after discussing with you what exactly you desire from the hat. Features that may raise the price include:

• Style: Earflaps or berets, for example, will cost more. Winter headbands will cost less.
• Design features: Cables, lace, colorwork like stripes or fair isle, and embellishments will raise the price slightly.
• Yarn choice: Thinner yarns (resulting in a finer fabric) will cost more, thicker will cost less. Also, fiber content will effect the price.

So holler at me if you’d like something to keep your top toasty! I can’t wait to talk to you.
