With a trip to the White Mountains looming, I knew I wanted to knit the warmest hat I could think of – and so the High Low hat was born! It features a folded brim for extra warmth around the ears and a dipped back to cover more of your neck. Maybe add a pom pom for some pizazz and you’re good to go!
