This hat is warm, stretchy and decorated with a pattern of cables leaping from one side of the ribbing to the other and back again before twisting together at the top. It’s unisex and the extra stretch from the cable pattern lends itself to multiple sizing options from baby through adult.

Sizing: (Measurements are for hat laid flat. It will stretch nicely because of the cables.)
