What was your inspiration?

This hat used to be a plain visor beanie I designed for a newborn when I was pregnant with my first child. After he was born and was spending more time outside, I made a beanie with a broader brim so he won't have the sun in his eyes. This worked but it wasn't perfect because it couldn't block the sun coming from the side. So I tried making the brim wider but this made the beanie look unstylish because the brim was too big. But this mistake gave me a chance to come up with the creative idea to fold up the sides with a button. This led me to adding a three-dimensional Popcorn Stitch and also to make the matching popcorn beanie in adult size originally for myself.

I love this hat. I've made several crocheted hats for chemo patients, but they don't really look good on older ladies. I think this style would look so much better and has much more style.
