The “RED HILL” hat - classic with a modern twist

Bulky yarn, and a faux-fur pompom make this hat a super quick knit and a perfect last-minute gift idea.

Named for its brilliant fall foliage, Red Hill in NH simply glows each Autumn. Inspired by its beauty, I designed this cozy hat. I chose a rustic red yarn to represent the bright leaves and a neutral pompom to symbolize the beautiful, contrasting bark of the branches.
