I’m excited to announce my latest design collaboration – a limited edition beanie (or toque as they say in Canada) for Clif Bar. Ever since I was a grom growing up in Minnesota, I’ve always been crazy about hats, especially winter hats. One of my favorite hobbies is making hats. This summer, I was so stoked when the good folks at Clif Bar asked me to draw up some designs for a new beanie for their website.
Here’s the hat and the inspiration:
There are only 200 of them so be sure to get yours now. It would make a good Valentine’s day present or you could even start your Christmas shopping early and get one for next winter! They have a great slouchy fit and a fleece liner to keep your ears warm no matter what your head size.

The whole process of designing this hat was so fun. I thought I’d share some of the other design sketches I came up with:
And the inspiration for the patch:

I wore the Clif beanie to work today and told people about YOU. I had recently read the ‘Clif Bar Story’ book that I received for Christmas from my daughter .[she said she thought I'd like it since all her life I've eaten Clif Bars for sports.] I really like the beanie and didn’t know it was a limited edition. It looks great on me too. Great job!! Keep up the good work in all your endeavors.
Warmest Regards, Mariah
I’m so glad you like your beanie! Thank you so much for the note – it’s great to hear from you! Keep in touch.
