Made with the cold weather in mind, the Aneira Ski Hat is a must knit for winter holidays, ski/snowboarding trips or simply those with ears that have a tendency to feel the chill!

You will start knitting the ribbed base flat on circular needles before joining in the round to finish the body of the hat. This can be done using double pointed needles, or circulars depending on your preference for using magic loop.

Two tassels with poms are added to the ear flaps and a larger pom is sewn to the top to finish.
