Our founder’s husband said this hat reminds him of the bygone days of Lara and Dr. Zhivago riding in the open carriage through the snowy open meadows of Russia. Zhivago hats often are thick, bulky and furry. Here’s a quick way to make your own winter hat (size 15 needles!), and the yarns are soft enough to comfort someone going through cancer treatment.

The purl stitches bring the Romance yarn to the outside of the hat leaving the inside, soft & smooth against a bare head.
