What a mighty little hat! Though it’s great for everyday wear, you won’t find a warmer hat that can look this dressed up. It’s unapologetically mod, but will fit seamlessly into your winter wardrobe. Knits up in an afternoon for an ultra fast gift idea! Worked from the bottom-up in a fun, simple textured stitch pattern. Some of the cast-on stitches are later picked up to knit the brim downward, with spaces left to weave a decorative ribbon through and tie in a bow. Matching Mighty Oak Cowl also available.
