These one-of-a-kind hats were specifically designed to keep one's neck warm without having to worry about a scarf falling off and leaving the neck exposed to the bitter winter cold, or worse, having the scarf choke the child!

It all started with a picky little girl named Morgan. The winter cold was on its way and Morgan needed a warm hat. This little picky girl wanted something warm, but it had to be pink. We set out to find that special pink hat. We searched & searched, but just could not find anything that would keep her warm enough - that was pink. We gave up and insisted that she wear a "regular" hat even if she thought it was a "boy" color. So we started with a nice hat that would cover her face, but the hole for her eyes was so large that her entire face was exposed. It really defeated the purpose of the hat. Maybe I should back up the story a little at this point. I am what one would call a "cautious" mom. Some would say paranoid, but either way, I have an inner fear of scarves. I have know people with kids who got thier scarves caught up in something on the playground and had a very scary experience. I figured that if I could find a hat that would cover the neck then I would not need a scarf -- therefore, eliminating the "scarf fear"!
Now, back to the search. We really needed something that would cover the nose & mouth area. We actually found something close to what we wanted, but it just was not soft enough for Morgan to have on her face. So now between the hole being too large or the fabric being to rough, we stopped looking. Enough is enough already! Forget it! I will just make my own hat that will fit our needs. Here's the problem - I can't sew! At this point I turned to my sister, who sews for a living. I figure she ought to know what to do. So with my daughter there to tell me what she wants, and my sister to make it -- we did it! It took some time and a few mistakes, but in the end we have come up with the perfect pattern for the perfect hat/face warmer. My daughter loves it and will wear it without me fighting her. She loves it because now she doesn't even need to have a scarf. This hat does it all! It all started with a picky little girl - Morgan. We are hoping that this will help all of you & your kids with your frustrations of winter - well, at least some of them!
