Add flair to suit your style to really personalize this piece, or leave it as is! With this design being so simple, one of my favorite things about it is how I can accessorize it in all sorts of ways. You can make a crochet chain to tie around it, add a hat band from another hat you have, or wrap a bandana or headband around it! I love to tie a white ribbon around the crown.
