Hopeful Butterfly Hat

"The Hopeful Butterfly Hat was designed for the Crochet Cancer Challenge and can easily be customized to represent any cause by changing the color to match any awareness ribbon. This hat is made with 3 stripes because the Thyroid Cancer Awareness Ribbon is Purple, Teal, and Pink. I also chose to add butterflies for dual purpose: 1) the thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland at the front of your neck, so the butterflies represent the thyroid and 2) butterflies are the symbol of hope, endurance, transformation, and new beginnings.
