U can't B replaced Hat

A quick project featuring an easy technique that let you freely draw shapes on the knitted surface.
This hat is part of a set inspired by a heart-shaped graffiti I saw some time ago. The writing inside the heart said: “U can’t B replaced”, and this resonated so much to me, because of a dear person who I lost many years ago that still cannot be replaced in my heart.
