……..

A companion piece to the Inver pullover, this versatile slouchy beanie will suit a variety of head shapes and sizes.

The textured stitch motif gives the fabric a thermal quality to keep your ears nice and toasty in winter, while the stripes add a touch of playfulness (or nautical chic, depending on the colours you choose!).

The overlapping 
crown is intriguing in its puzzle-like construction, while offering the practical benefit of fit versatility. This pattern is very suitable for gift-knitting, as it is not necessary to know the recipient’s exact head measurements to ensure fit. 


Inver is the anglicised spelling of inbhir, which means estuary in Irish Gaelic.
