The hat features a gorgeous color blaze brim which adds a second layer of warmth. Fold the brim up to cover your ears and protect them from the cold fall winds. Pair with the button up scarf/cowl to complete the warm set. Instructions are provided for both a scarf or a button-up cowl (shown).

SKILL LEVEL: Easy
