Charadrii
Charadrii is the suborder of birds that includes shorebirds like sandpipers, plovers, and turnstones, each of which is represented on this stranded knit hat. Mixed flocks of shorebirds can often be seen wading into water or running along the breaking waves at the ocean shore. This hat is the perfect complement to the matching cowl, keeping you warm while shorebirding when there is still a chill in the air.
