52 Hats in 52 Weeks

Edda Lilja and her 52 hat project is now up to week 37 and the hats are fantastic – a little quirky and quite original. Here is her website where you can see all the hat – just a few of my faves are pictured below.

The pattern for that cute elf/fairy hat is available here for a small fee
