Description

The Herbage Beanie, as part of the Homegrown Hat Collection, simply represents all things green and growing. Its basic beanie construction knit in the round features two kinds of cables, one ribbed, one a unique centrally-focused all-knit one, that both grow organically from the ribbed brim and remain intact as they are decreased up to the tip of the crown.
