Named after Silvanus, the Roman deity of woods and forests, this beret draws its inspiration from the natural rhythms of trees and leaves. It is worked in an organic lace-and-cables pattern that ripples outward like branches spreading through a canopy, creating a fabric full of movement and lightness. A snug ribbed band anchors the fit, while the body of the hat expands gracefully into the classic beret silhouette. **Finished Measurements** 171/2”/44 cm brim circumference. 8.5”/21.5 cm height from base of ribbing to top center of crown.
