Smile Again – a Hat with Heart

Whether you’re knitting it for yourself or for someone you love, Smile Again is sure to put a smile on your face. Three harmonious colors create a playful check pattern with a relaxed brim. You’ll knit it with two beautiful new yarns from Manos del Uruguay that keep you wonderfully warm—and carry a special story within them.

Manos del Uruguay supports women in rural Uruguay, helping them earn a living with local wool and the skills passed down by their ancestors.
