Robert Frost wrote the beautiful poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, which evokes a carriage drive through falling snow. This hat was inspired by warm wool, a cool evening and the knitting poetry which comes from that combination. Nordic braids, an empty trellis and a snowflake on top add up to a great winter topper, warm enough for a walk in the woods.
