About
The tundra beanie is knit entirely in the round with two different colours, using a simple colour pattern that repeats around the hat, and decreases at the top to make a pretty star design. Larger sizes of the hat are made by knitting additional and taller reps of this pattern. Any size of the hat can be optionally adorned with a homemade or store- bought pom-pom.

Please read the dimensions listed below carefully before selecting a size.
