Stoirm is a traditional Norwegian style ski cap. It features a colorful, stranded two-color pattern on the outside and a solid inside. This cap is fully reversible! It is knit by starting with a provisional cast on and one hat is knit to the crown, then the stitches are picked up and a hat of identical shape is knit to the crown. After ends are woven in and the hat is blocked, one hat tucks right into the other! Wear the pattern-side out or flip it over for a solid cap! The double knit layer will keep your ears warm and toasty all winter.
