Starts with thin ribbing to help pull in the hem, then switches to thick, chunky ribbing in alternating stripes of red, creamy white, and navy blue. This is a close fitting beanie, perfect alone or under hoods and helmets when you need a bit extra warmth. Knit in vegan friendly acrylic in heavy worsted weight yarn- and this is acrylic that is actually soft, not scratchy or prickly like some acrylic (especially vintage).
