Park Slope Breakfast Beanie

Designed over endless rounds of morning coffee while visiting my then-fiance's family in Brooklyn. This hat wasn't quite what I wanted it to be- a warm, snug garment fit for New York winters, but it became a wonderful lightweight 3-season hat. Loose and slouchy- you can fold up the brim for a tighter fit, or wear it floppy.
