The River Gem Slouch Hat is a two tone design to be worn with the River Gem Scarf . Made in similar fashion, the only difference is that the scarf is made in rows, while the beanie is made in rounds .
This hat is designed to be ‘roomy’ with a double, somewhat loose brim. It can be worn with our without a pom-pom and paired nicely with the River Gem scarf .
Just as the scarf begins with a multiple of 3 chains plus 1 , so is this hat.
