    The red hats in the article literally come from historical resistance to Nazis:

    The “melt the ICE” hat takes inspiration from Norway, according to staff of Needle & Skein yarn shop in St. Louis Park, Minn., who shared the pattern on the popular crafting site Ravelry last month. Minnesota has one of the highest concentrations of residents who claim Norwegian ancestry, according to state demographers.

    The red tasselled hat, called a nisselue in Norwegian, was a symbol of patriotism and protest against Nazi occupation during the Second World War.
