Mountain Tops is a stranded colorwork hat worked in the round, fitting closely around the head.

That feeling when you are on the ridge trail, forest all around. You look to either direction and see more mountain tops, more forest, all quiet except for the breeze. The breeze is chilly, but you have this hat!
