5 out of 5 starsI wanted a hat to keep my covid hair out of my face and keep my ears warm during the winter. I have an issue with most hats being too small and pulling up over time leaving me look like a gnome with frozen ears. The hat is larger then expected and I can safely roll it up twice to cover my ears and it does not pull up. the material is very soft. I haven't gone through a harsh Minnesota winter with it yet but I expect it will preform.

5 out of 5 starsThis is so gorgeous and well made that I want to say it is my favorite Girlpower scarf, but I cannot decide which scarf is my favorite when I look at all of them. I can at least say this scarf is even more beautiful in real life!!!

Girlpower Knits is a small, woman-owned business operating in heartland USA.
I'm Emily, shop owner, hand knitter and knitwear/pattern designer
The shop name came pretty naturally with 6 sisters who all loved knitting...
I started my shop as a way to branch out on my hobby, to share the joy of luxurious, natural fiber hand knits with others.
I design most of my items, and love to come up with unique and special knits, there's a fascination with turning strings of yarn into a garment or accessory. I have so many designs and ideas whirling in mind! My studio is wherever I am, and inspiration comes from everywhere, it might be a color combination, a blanket draped on the bed, or a delicate budding blossom...
About my process:
I begin with yarn, needles and a vision for each piece and stitch by stitch a creation unfolds.
Quality makes the piece, I use soft and natural wools, alpacas and cashmeres, as well as a few washable blends for those who prefer something a bit easier care.
After many hours of work, I wash the item, then store it in a container to prevent any contamination.
Contact me through an Etsy message, or at girlpowerknits [!at] gmail.com

Returns and exchange details
To qualify for a return, piece must be unworn/unwashed, free from odors (smoke, etc.) and pets.
*Custom orders are non returnable/refundable*
There are several reasons I cannot accept returns on some items:
Knits may quickly pick up pet/human hair, dirt, etc.

Some fibers can quickly pick up odors, such as smoke and air fresheners.
I am VERY particular in listing fiber content and measurements. I'll be happy to answer your questions.
