I live in the incredible Pacific Northwest, and spend my days hiking gorgeous misty mornings surrounded by beautiful evergreens. I wanted to capture the spirit of this beauty in my Forest For The Trees Hat.

Cables of varying sizes combine to evoke the image of a forest! The beginning is an interesting twist on a rib pattern, and the soft puffy yarn reminds me of mist.

It is the perfect hat for stomping the streets of Seattle, exploring the local parks, or lounging with a blanket and sipping a mug of hot local coffee.
