I use knitting, sewing, crocheting and embroidery techniques with yarns that include natural (cotton, alpaca, mohair, bamboo, wool), synthetic, upcycled and recycled fibers. My Confetti Hats, featured on this website, are amongst my most popular sellers. Each row of each slouchy beanie is crocheted with a different yarn, featuring glitter and fur and sequins and bobbles &#8211; creating a unique piece with lots of sparkle &amp; texture. These hats are designed to top off that special event outfit&#8230;with an accessory that is playful, expressive and eye-catching. With fringe that flows and metalics that catch the light while dancing, twirling, hooping, marching \u2013 these hats are, as one customer described, the perfect way to put the glam in your jam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Confetti Hat Collection includes hats for Festivals &amp; Celebrations, Holidays, School &amp; Team Colors and Unique One Of A Kind Gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please know that every piece, whether for sale or donation, is designed &amp; created exclusively by me.
