Description

Ingelill is our Viking hat for little folks! Its modular construction gives you lots of choices—make a headband, a beanie, or an ear flap hat all from one pattern. Start with the cabled band, join the ends, and expand from there. Pompoms and bobbles are optional and you can line the band for extra warmth.
