About

The Alpine Hat is a simple, cozy design inspired by clean lines and crisp days. Since moving to Germany, I’ve discovered I love snow! This is my ideal hat for any snowy day activity- be it sledding in the mountains, ice skating on a frozen pond or just window shopping in the city.
I also think this hat would be the perfect thing to take camping in the Summer!

hat measures 6.5 inches (16 cm) by 12.5 inches (30 cm), but can easily be customized and made longer or shorter by adding or taking away rows before you begin the decrease.
