• Product description

  “Tree motifs and classic cables dappled with shadow rib texture make this hat and cowl a fun wintry set—a nod to the Tree of Life and other traditional Aran stitch patterns. The larger the pom-pom for the top of the hat, the better.” – Leila Raven

  Designer: Leila Raven

  Collection: Wool People, Volume 6
