This beautiful hat and mitten combo has been designed for us by Fiona Ellis and are named in honour of Geneva Misener (1878–1961). As the first female professor at the University of Alberta and a champion for women’s rights, we know that Geneva kept a cool head in debate and had
a firm handshake! Beautiful cables on a reverse stockinette background ornament these warm accessories. The hat fits perfectly and doesn’t mess up your hair; the mittens have a pleasing symmetry and flat top finger construction. You’ll make a statement, just like Geneva.
