Sculptural, “skeletonized” cables snake their way up this bold, graphic cabled hat, which features a modern exploded chevron motif that reads easily from a distance against a reverse stockinette background. Relatively simple cables allow Bloomsbury DK’s bold array of colors to shine, while a just-slouchy-enough fit makes for a hat that dresses up or down, and easily works for men, women, and children alike. Bloomsbury DK’s light weight makes this hat ideal for transition seasons, and for deep winter in milder climes.

The Epiphyte Hat was designed as part of LoveCrafts’ “Idle Wanderer” Collection, and is available from Lovecrafts.com using the link above.
