What’s a girl (or guy) to do? If you’re spending the next 4 years in a place where the average winter temperature is 23℉ (-5℃), you get plenty of warm woolens.

The inside of the hat is lined at the band in the main color for extra warmth. With its subtle stripes, slight slouch and big pom pom in a cozy wool and Alpaca, C~Mac is just the thing for the chic, frosty freshman.

The slip-stitch pattern is both written and charted.
