Winter Woodshat









When it's cold outside, there's nothing I love more than a warm, cozy woollen hat. The
WINTER WOODS hat features a lovely and easy to work cable pattern and comes in two
versions - one with bobbles and one without - so you can choose the one that's just
right for you!
It is made with one strand of silk mohair held together with a wonderful non-superwash woollen sock yarn. The result is a super squishy fabric with great stitch definition. WINTER WOODS comes in 5 sizes, so there's one to fit everyone from a small child to adults.
