The Galaxy Beanie is a fairly tight knit, making it lovely and snug, and very warm. The decrease pattern on the crown creates a double armed spiral, much like that of a double armed spiral galaxy, which it is named after. The 1x1 rib makes the sizing fairly flexible, and gives the beanie a good grip on your noggin.
