Elmer T Beanie

A simple hat with fun details created to celebrate our tweed merino and cashmere blend! The knitting is fun with a half ribbing pattern to start, but the magic of this piece is in the blocking – the cashmere bloom, the unbelievably soft and light fabric that results – we dare you to stop at just one hat!
