The knit Silver Bells hat features small and delicate bobble stitches and a double brim, making this hat a warm and classic winter favorite. I used ICE Yarn “Rockstar” yarn to design this hat. It has a metallic sheen to it, which makes it so unique! I am loving this yarn. It is extremely soft and has a gorgeous halo to it. Absolutely no roughness to this yarn and the shine is out of this world!
