Unconventional Crochet Aviator Hat

Inspired by Amelia Earhart and her daring spirit, this Unconventional Crochet Aviator Hat is exactly as it's described. We love that the ear flaps are asymmetrical and that it is an interesting spin on the classic aviator hat. The bright blue color navigates away from the conventional version of this hat as well. The eyelet pattern makes this hat more feminine than a regular hat, which once again embraces Amelia Earhart's memory. Delicate details and the wild color are balanced out by gunmetal buttons.
