Description

This hat is inspired by Toscany in Italy. Toscany is my happy place because it’s a very green place with beautiful views and the enviroment makes me calm. I made sure my hat fits with Toscany by making it different types of green. The border of the hat is also inspired by a millstone collar. I tried to mimic it by folding the material so that it looks like a millstone collar.
