The Woodstove Hat will keep your head warm whether you’re inside by the stove or outside wishing you were. This chunky cabled hat sports substantial ribbing that folds over for an extra layer of warmth, and the 1-by-1 cables create lovely depth and texture. As a bonus, it’s a surprisingly quick knit! A large pom-pom adds a bit of fun.
