Description

As part of the Homegrown Hat Collection, the Tiller Beanie is so named because of its resemblance to a swath of freshly tilled earth, ready for planting. It’s a modular hat that will give you a little practice with two types of seaming. Each of the three parts are knit flat and then assembled, magically transforming them into a unique, warm hat.
