Get ready for a jolly snow day with this hat in sumptuous Kettle Yarn Co. Northiam DK. With a lavish double brim, a simple textured pattern creates undulating rows of warmth to the crown.

Naima includes two versions - a slouchy hat and a beanie. Choose to knit in either one strand of Northiam DK or add a strand of Hythe kid silk for an Aran hat with extra warmth and luxury. Choose the style that suits you best, or knit both for variety!
