This beginner friendly colorwork hat will keep you oh-so-warm on the chilliest of days. Choose from two different styles - beanie or watchman cap - to make the perfect cold weather accessory for you and your loved ones.

Note: Be sure to choose the size based on the head circumference of the recipient. Both of my kids (pictured) wear adult large hats!
