This hat is knit using the double knitting method; creating a thicker, warmer hat that is totally reversible. You’ll be creating two layers of fabric at the same time! In keeping with our 2016 theme, “Oregon Grows Great Things,” we chose to have cute little Oregon grown sheep running around the bottom of our hat!
