Violets Fair Isle Hat pattern

“The violets motif reminds me of picking flowers in the woods when we were young. I can smell the freshness of the forest floor, see the wonderful colors of spring after the long black and white winter. There is not much more glorious than to see wildflowers after a long Michigan winter.“ ~Joan
