CLOSED: Sweet Shop Hat Testing Call

The idea for the sweet shop hat was born from several sources of inspiration, first I was left with a lot of awkwardly small amounts of the petite wool, secondly Instagram was pushing lots of two chunky two coloured yarnicorn brioche knits my way by @claraeggers and others. Oh, and I just love a squishy hat!
