Inspired by the swirling colors of the Aurora Borealis, this hat is the perfect accessory to keep you warm. Worked as a double-knit fabric, the two light-weight layers provide additional warmth by trapping a pocket of air in between. A wonderful one-skein project showing off the beauty of long-repeat yarns.
