5th Annual Turkey Trot Make-Along 2023

The image depicts a mannequin head displaying a crochet hat with a pronounced ribbed texture. The hat is a vibrant shade of blue, suggesting a cozy, handcrafted feel. Attached to the back of the mannequin head is a brown, curly wig, which cascades down, giving the impression that someone is wearing the hat. The background is a room with warm, inviting tones, and a dresser with a lamp on it. Text overlaid on the image reads "Ribbed for Him and Her" in a playful, cursive font, indicating that the hat's design is unisex. Additional text at the bottom states "CROCHET HAT," clearly labeling the item. A small, whimsical bird-like logo appears at the bottom right corner, possibly representing the brand or creator of the hat.
