Granny Square Hats
Inspired by the flags represented at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Granny Square Collection is an ode to nationalism, embodying the colors of various flags as crochet hats. This collection features hats from the country flags of Nigeria, Jamaica, Ghana, France, Spain, Haiti, Switzerkand and Ukraine. These hats are meant to inspire pride in one's country, encouraging people to contribute positively to society, whether through civic engagement or simply by upholding national values.
Palestine Flag Hat Tutorial
Since the drop of my country themed flag collection one of my most requested hats was the Palestinian flag. It is crucial for us as active members of society to continue to speak about Palestine and stand against the attempted erasure of their culture. Please feel free to make this hat for friends and family to wear in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
