The texture and broken lines of the slip stitch pattern of this beanie makes for a cozy, visual interesting hat but also a fun knit! The folded brim is easy to work and adds a clean edge to the beanie. This hat can be worked in one color or two, with a high or low contrast depending on personal preference. The thick, squishy fabric of the slip stitch makes this the perfect accessory for staying warm on a cold autumn evening!
This beanie was designed with yarn support from gather here for the 2021 Greater Boston Yarn Crawl. Special thanks to Charlotte David for testing and to the entire gather here team for their support!
