Complete your alpine ensemble with the High Pines Cowl’s counterpart, the High Pines Hat. Branching half-twisted rib and shifting knit and purl texture take full advantage of Arbor’s springy construction, resulting in harmonic stitchwork resembling a jovial woodland scene. Precisely placed decreases help the motifs converge seamlessly at the crown — a star to adorn one’s head.
