After the deep cold of winter, comes the thaw. It is an energizing time where everyone, and everything, begins to shake off the dormancy of winter. This hat is inspired by the waning days of winter. For when spring hasn’t quite sprung; for the days of icicles, fragrant trees, and the winter coat seems optional, yet remains advisable.

Using an effective two row repeat worked to a slouch that makes you happy, this hat will keep you warm while allowing the warmer air to move through. It is perfect for climbing out of hibernation and out on a path with a friend for a vitamin D rich stroll.
