Inspired by the mossy, grassy vegetation of moorland habitats, the Moor Hat is cushiony, warm, and versatile. Worked as a tube, this hat can be worn with the decorative lace on the outside, featuring a contrast rib that mimics a horizon line dividing the treeless landscape and cloud blue skies. For more casual outings, simply turn the work inside out and show off the tweedy nubs of our Deluxe DK Tweed Superwash on a background of soothing Stockinette stitch.
