Colorful glass beads twist and weave into the cabled fabric of this one-of-a-kind winter accessory. Knit in a bulky weight yarn, Entwined will fly off the needles - even with the beading! A fun faux fur pom pom sits atop, secured with a snap for easy removal before washing. Instructions are also included to knit the hat without the beads, if desired.
