Knitting and crocheting require time, patience, talent, and a lot of yarn. The results can be classic and cozy, or uniquely incredible, like these winter hats that will keep you warm and help you to truly stand out.

If you are going to be in freezing cold weather you want to wear a warm hat, heat does escape through the top of your head, just not at the rate science once thought. Until more recent studies surfaced, it was believed that nearly 50% of all body heat escaped through the head. In 2006, researchers disproved this theory, finding only 7-10% of body heat actually exists through your head. Still, a hat can be a very useful tool when it comes to staying warm.

These crafty people have come up with the perfect way to keep warm and make a fashion statement with these 28 cool winter hats.
