Knitting Pretty

Katelyn Kirby Crochet Caps

A milky, flawless punim. Big brown peepers. Daddy’s long legs. And perfectly straight chompers.

Thank heavens for good genes. Albeit those stringy, greasy locks (thanks, Pops).

Cover them up with one of Katelyn Kirby’s cute handmade caps. The local nurse creates crochet headwear in her free time.

The casual designs are all made to order, from custom color combos to couture shapes and sizes. Just tell the Louisiana native what you desire, and she’ll whip up your minimasterpiece in a day or two. The end result is usually a mix of Bishop Arts hipster meets stylish apres-ski bum.

Luckily, the quick turnaround won’t cost you: Toppers run just 20 to 40 bucks each.

Which means the inherited spendthrift in you can breathe easy.
