Kolsch, by UK-based designer Anushka Tay, is the perfect lightweight beanie covered in visually stunning cables and traveling stitches. Made in our springy + light Weld, this beanie is ideal for transitional weather and evokes vines creeping up latticework in the early spring. The tiny pom pom is an optional add-on for those who want to add a little pop at the top!
