Inspired by the beautiful aspen trees that line the banks of a stunning Northern California mountain stream, Cold Creek Hat is knit from the brim up with a slightly slouchy fit. Two functional buttons at the ribbed brim and a crown of leaves on a gently textured background of reverse stockinette stitch adorn the hat.
