This is a new style hat that's somewhere between a snood and a very long round cap with extra room in back.  It looks a bit like a tam from the side but isn't as wide and flat. Completely covers the ears.  Perfect for those with big hair!  The light green circle at the top is kid mohair, as are the slightly darker olive stripes.  The thin purple accent stripes are silk, and the rest is Corriedale wool.  Soft, warm and cozy with lots of pinache!
