This is a popular style, hand knit in a vibrant red wool yarn. A whimsical hat, it reminds me of pixies, elves and gnomes.  It was inspired by Lord of the Rings. 

I love this hat. I always love the interesting young people who are drawn to it. I call it a pixie hat, which is a vintage style with a modern update. I've eliminated the chin ties and substituted a bead and tassel that hangs freely. FREE SHIPPING 

Wool can be easily cared for giving years of wear. At the end of the cold season hand wash with shampoo in cold water and rinse with a conditioner. Roll in a towel and press the water out, dry flat. Store in a cedar chest or in a plastic bag.
