Pinus Strobus, commonly known as the Eastern White Pine, grows throughout New England. The cable pattern on this soft and cozy Valley Yarns Strobus Hat looks just like the long, tasseled needles of this storied tree. The hat is made from the brim up with crown decreases cleverly worked into the stitch pattern.
