Inspired by the snowpack on top of the mountains that melts into rivulets, which turns into streams and rivers, Eiswasser (or ice water in German) recreates those streams in a densely-cabled toque that is incredibly warm, despite its name and lighter-weight yarn.

Top it off with a fluffy (faux) fur pompom or leave the spiraling crown open to view.
