I have been obsessing a bit about the Melt the Ice Hat phenomenon, but I think with good reason. I have also fallen off the deep end into the Mini Melt craze. These little cuties (2×2 inch) are used as pins that show you are pro-democracy, anti-ICE, and anti-this administration. Lots less knitting and great for indoor or sunny climate use.
I describe how I knit mine up on my project page. Even if you can’t knit the big hat, maybe a mini hat!
I love the little hat pins!

I love the tiny hats! I have knit two of the MTI hats (one for my 89 year old mother who is still protesting!) I live in Maine and we have had some ICE activity here, but nowhere near what is happening in MN. I think I will be knitting many of the tiny hats and passing them out to friends.
