The Dutton Mill hat features a bit of texture, a bit of ribbing, and a bit of striping all in one charming and practical hat. I guarantee it will be your go-to hat for morning walks and running errands around town.

This tam was designed to use up leftover yarn from the Dutton Mill cowl. Both designs were knit with the beautiful Local yarn from O-Wool- a merino/alpaca worsted weight yarn that drapes beautifully.
