Spending time walking through woodland areas and pausing to take a moment to stand at the base of the enormous trees. Looking up and following the branches as they stretch out above me.

The winding branches of these magnificent trees inspired this hat, Among the Trees. This perspective of the tree trunks fading away and branches stretching out into a vast canopy is recreated with all-over cables.

Among the Trees is a seamless hat design. It is created in the round from the brim up to the crown. Twisting cables weave their way along the body of the hat and create a flowering crown.
