Definitely hat weather.
The bonnet bunny
The inspiration
When I was little, my aunt knitted me a bonnet like this, and I wore it every winter. These little bunny bonnets carry that cosy childhood memory, one stitch at a time.
My bunny creations are inspired by @bunnymad, an account I've followed for a long time, bringing little moments of rabbit life into yarn.
Olive’s story
Olive believes there are two sorts of weather: hat weather, and weather that could become hat weather without warning. She dresses accordingly.
Before a short walk she checks the window, the forecast and whether anyone else is wearing a hat. The last check rarely changes her decision. It is mostly an opportunity to look concerned.
Her friends once suggested leaving the bonnet at home on a particularly warm afternoon. Olive agreed, very politely, then packed it in a bag. They had been outside for seven minutes when a small breeze arrived. She has mentioned it several times since.
