Construction: This all over ribbed hat uses narrower and broader ribbed patterns for a warm, stretchy hat that can be worn as a fitted beanie or with the brim half folded (or not folded at all) as a slouchy hat.

Rocky Point was an amusement park on the Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island that operated from some time in the 1840’s until 1995. Rocky Point reopened as public open space almost twenty years later and is a gorgeous coastal park in Warwick. This is a space I love walking my dog in, but it’s one where you definitely need a warm hat in the fall and winter months. This hat is perfect for staying on your head in windy weather!
