Spring is Just Around the Corner
I admit I’m a cold weather wimp. After a couple weeks of winter, I want flowers—and my ears to be warm. This hat provides both! A fun tulip cable cuff is turned over the main body of the hat creating a double layer over the ears. The slouchy cap is comfortable and flattering. Both the tulip cuff and the body of the hat are knit so that the right side faces you. Minimal purling required!
