The Zea Hat features a fun popcorn stitch pattern and a pompom at the crown. Twisted ribbing at the brim provides crisp structure around the face and helps keep the slouchy style perfectly in place. The hat is worked in the round from the brim to the crown. The optional attached pompom is a perfect finishing touch.
