My lovely model, Ella, was almost four years old when I posted pictures of her in our Andean hats in December 2006. Now she’s eleven and a half and too big to wear those hats.

The hats are too amazing and the little girl too cute to leave the remaining photos in my unposted file. Here they are—a tribute to the skill of those knitters of the Andes.
