Funicular
A “Funicular” is a rail car that is run by cables up an inclined plane, usually a mountain side.
Worked entirely in the round from the bottom up, the Funicular hat has inclined lines of colorwork that are formed entirely by short rows. Choose either a short ribbing, or a deeper, folded ribbing to frame the face and keep your ears extra warm. A pom pom and a bit of slouch make the hat both fashionable and fun.
