What was your inspiration?

I created this hat/scarf/mittens combo in an effort to give my kids a piece of knitwear that rivals a swiss army knife in number of uses. I wanted them to have mittens that wouldnt get left on the playground, a hat that they wanted to wear, and a scarf that would keep their little necks warm.

What are you most proud of?

I am definitely most proud of the fact that my little ones *love* to wear their oculiTres hats!
