The Fairweather Hat is a fingering weight hat knit in the round from the brim to the crown. It has vertical panels of stockinette stitch and cables for a classic, lightweight beanie. Add a faux fur pom pom for some extra fun, or leave it off for a more gender-neutral option. Hat is available in five sizes, from baby to adult.

Named after Mount Fairweather, the highest mountain in British Columbia.
