The Saltillo blanket has become a staple in yoga studios. I would study these blankets from my downward dog pose, wondering how I could incorporate it into a design. I snapped a photo a little bit ago so I could use the colors for inspiration for a beanie. This design is the product of my experimentation with the colors and line-work inspired from these beautiful blankets.
This beanie is made on circular needles which means less finishing upon completion. The stranded work is completed by following a graph and written instructions are provided for the beginning and decrease portion of the beanie.
