There is something about a highly textured Aran Cap. Is it the shadowing created by the moving and twisting of stitches against a smooth background? Or is it simply the movement itself? 

Cabling is a technique that involves moving knit stitches across an otherwise static background. The background of the Patchwork Butterfly Aran changes with each shape created, making this hat a textured feast.

Pattern is both written and charted. Due to the complexity of the pattern the hat sizing options are minimal.

Embrace your adventurous side with the Patchwork Butterfly Cap knitting pattern. This unisex design features intricate cables and twisted stitches, creating a stunning one-piece seamless beanie. Worked from the bottom up in the round, this pattern includes both written instructions and a chart for easy following. Available in sizes S/M and M/L for teens and adults, this cap showcases the beauty of Heritage 2 Ply yarn by Briggs & Little. The cap’s depth remains consistent across sizes, with only the band and body width adjusting for a perfect fit.
