“On the Plus Side…” While we can’t always change what is happening around us, we are always capable of adjusting our outlook. This hat is intended to radiate positivity, reminding us to look on the bright side when things get difficult. While it is worked from brim to crown, the stranded colorwork results in a starburst of color at the top of the beanie that radiates into plus signs surrounding the body of the hat. The result is a cheerful bit of warmth sure to bring positive vibes to your everyday life. Check out the matching mittens to coordinate your style and complete the set!
