The earthy colours of the forest have inspired this hat. Greens and browns create this Fair Isle pattern with the occasional hint of cream, as if it was sunlight tricking down to the forest floor. This hat is knit in the round, fairly dense to keep its shape and then topped off with a pompom. It starts with extra wide ribbing that can be folded up for a thick double brim. Knitted in 100% wool, this hat is incredibly cozy and you will feel like you are taking a piece of the forest with you wherever you go.
