//Meet Aspen. Named after aspen trees found in cool northern climates, and mountainous regions. To me, this hat is the ultimate Canadian toque. Aspen is perfect for cold winter days as stranded knitting makes it extra thick (and cozy). Perfect for snowball fights, skiing, and winter hikes. Fair isle gives it a classic look, with a faux fur pom for a modern twist. However you choose to rock your Aspen, you’ll be wearing something you made all by your beautiful self. \
