Beanie hat MOBY DICK, knitting pattern one size

Corals in shallow waters and a school of whales out in the deep sea – and all in the space of a hat! When you love the ocean, this hat is for you … thanks to the stranded knitting and the double layered brim it will keep you warm even on a winter stroll at the seaside. The hat compliments nicely with navy blue sweaters and coats for a maritime outfit.
