Toasty Massam is a classic ski hat that’s ready for your wintry outdoor adventures – complete with a big fluffy pompom on top. The cable design makes it perfect fireplace knitting: it’s simple yet engaging, and easily memo- rized. Yarn spun from the Massam sheep is soft and silky, giving this hat a beautiful fuzzy halo and lots of warmth.
