With a mixture of cables and bobbles, this nature-inspired modern fisherman’s style toque / beanie pays homage to the arrowleaf balsamroot plant and it’s distinctive leaves. A folded cuff adds comfort and warmth, and makes sure the hat stays snug. Keep your head cozy through winter while you wait for these cheerful flowers to bloom in spring :)
