Buckle Beanie Hats are perfect right now, because winter isn't going anywhere

Buckle Beanie Hats are perfect right now, because winter isn't going anywhere
Woe to us parents whose kids start to outgrow their winter clothing in February, when stores are stocking their racks with sandals and sun dresses. Thank goodness the mama at Two Seaside Babes in Indiana is still crocheting her très cool Buckle Beanie Hats.

I was struck by how her use of thick wool yarn shows off the hat's pattern, while the visor offers some eye protection and the silver buckle on the side adds a modern, urban touch. But what really made me feel warm inside was learning that this military mama donates one hat to charity for every five she sells.

 I may even be happy that the groundhog is predicting six more weeks of winter. - Christina
