The Tempie Hat features a combination of large cables that travel from the rib brim to the top center. Tempie is a little bit slouchy and oversized and is knit out of a fingering weight yarn, it is the perfect accessory for those cool weather days where a touch of wool is needed, but still warm enough for the cold and snowy winter days. The brim includes two different options to customize the look you like best and the tip top is set off with an oversized faux fur pom pom. This hat is named after my great grandmother who had the stylish and fun nickname of Tempie.
