The Snowy Mountains Bonnet features a ribbed edge followed by a geometric “snowy mountains” colorwork border using two-color 1/1 crosses. The stockinette body can be customized into two styles depending on your preference:
Classic Edition: Shaped with traditional decreases at the back of the head for a snug, classic fit.
Pixie Edition: Shaped using German short rows at the back of the head to create a pointed pixie silhouette.
Both versions are finished with an I-cord neck edge and matching tie.
