Tufted Puffin is a reversible hat with two distinct textures. The smoother knit side is punctuated by tufted, puffy insulating dimples - but turn it inside out and you’ll see a purl fabric deeply criss-crossed with a lattice that really catches light and shadow. This fingering weight hat is simple to work and will show off your favorite colorways beautifully.
