The Pacific Northwest has many great places for walking and hiking in the woods and near water. Watmough Head is one of those beautiful parks that I love to visit and this beanie does a terrific job of keeping my ears warm in the forest. The beanie is fashioned in comfy DK weight yarn in two sizes (fit or slouchy). It is knit in the round from the bottom up with stranded colorwork that gives the hat its patterned brim.
