​This pattern is inspired by nature - the unknown mystery of deep sea and Mariana Trench.
I crocheted it at the Cape May, NJ beach while looking at the sea and swimming by dolphins.
The hat is made with fingering weight yarn. While it's not bulky, it's very warm due to 100% wool. Try it once, you never go back to  wearing acrylic garments. Only wool keeps you warm and cozy even when wet.

Please, do not share my pattern as it takes a lot of hard work and time to learn skills, required for designing, writing, testing, photographing and putting together crochet patterns. All that work is done by one person. Copyright violation is not a victim-less crime! Thank you!
