In northern British Columbia the winters are long, cold, snowy, and dark. While that sometimes makes the outdoors uncomfortable, it does have other benefits. The opportunity to observe extended hours of dawn and dusk in the middle of the day is one of them. Watching the inky sky slowly illuminate into many intense shades of blue over a glittering blanket of snow is breathtaking. This hat could never hold a candle to that spectacle, but hopefully channels the idea. Luckily, the fair isle motif worked into it also makes for some exceedingly warm headwear.
