About the pattern

Kumoi is a Japanese word for sky or cloud. This lace rib beanie is based on the Ladder to the Sky stitch. It incorporates simple eyelets that create a small lattice, working it’s way up the middle of each rib. These lace details add a feminine touch to the traditional ribbed hat silhouette.

This hat uses a 4 row repeat that is easy to remember, and a quick, fun knit.
