Epilepsy Awareness Beanie
I designed the hat originally for breast cancer awareness and participated in Tampa's annual walk, the hat was pink. Then a couple of years ago I started to have seizures and that's when I remade the hat in the epilepsy purple. These years have not been easy and have had many ups and downs. This hat reminds me that I am not the only one going through something similar to my situation. This year I have made significant progress and have not had as many.
It's made with acrylic yarn which is really soft and will fit an adult male or female head. I embroidered each of the 4 ribbons in white acrylic yarn to make them pop. If you would like a custom size just message me and I can make it from an infant size to a large adult male.
I can also add a bobble to the top of it if that's what you would like.
I do ship my product to all 50 states. I haven't shipped anything oversees yet but I can. This hat is made to order and I have only sold a few. Those that do have one either have epilepsy or have a family member who does. This hat will take me about a week to make since it's hand knitted and I embroider each ribbon. The time frame also depends on the size, I can make the hat smaller or larger. I do have a full time job and have 3 horses so knitting is what I do in my spare time. I have created so many items that I decided to start selling them.
I do standard shipping and will alert the customer that I have shipped it and will send them the tracking number. I sell through Etsy and I have had people reach out to me through Instagram @hoofprintknits to buy something and then they can pay through PayPal.
