These little black and white woodpeckers have put holes in your hat instead of your trees! A hundred bobbles have come home to roost on this beanie. It’s a perfect combination of stand-out texture and simple backdrop to show off a dramatic pairing of yarns. And the only tap-tap-tapping you’ll hear will be the people knocking on your door asking you to make them one!
