Knit in Taconic, this classic winter accessory is the perfect gift for men and women alike! Just choose a single brim or a double brim and your favorite shade of Taconic. Knit Cupola in the round from the bottom up, then decide if you want a more slouchy crown or not. Soft, tweedy Valley Yarns Taconic is a soft blend of Merino wool and cashmere, with multicolored tweedy flecks that give the finished fabric a fantastic visual texture.
