Rosehill is a close-fitting beanie-style hat worked in the round with a double brim decorated with eyelet lace. It’s a quick and easy knit that can be whipped up quickly as a last-minute gift.

Knitted with 2 strands of 4-ply yarn and a strand of mohair, its soft and delicate appearance belies a substantial accessory that will keep you warm even in the coldest weather.
