This cute face-framing hat is an ode to the last fading leaves of Fall.

While knitting the colors in the yarn reminded me of those last leaves hanging on to the tree before they fall. Wear this hat on on those last crisp days!

A cross between a tam and a beanie, there is a full gathered section of fabric around the ears.
