In an effort to balance financial affordability with fair, sustainable pricing, I have adopted a Pay What Works pricing model. This allows you to pay what you are able while valuing all of the work that goes into making each pattern. The price listed reflects what I believe to be the true value of the pattern and the work of all those that make the pattern possible.

Use the coupon codes at checkout for the price that works best for you. No code is needed to pay the listed price.

The Liana Hat is named for the climbing vines that inspired its design—resilient, graceful, and ever-reaching. Knit in two-color brioche, this beanie carries the spirit of ivy-covered halls and crisp autumn air. With each round, the elegant motif creeps and curls across your needles, creating a look that’s both scholarly and effortlessly chic.

Instructions are provided in written and charted form. Video tutorials are linked in the pattern for brioche increases, decreases, and cables. Instructions are provided to add or subtract repeats to the length of the hat to create a slouchier fit or a more traditional beanie fit.
