Inspired by Yoriko’s Neck Warmer… Read the story.

Yoriko’s Beanie is constructed in the round from the brim to the crown. Worked with two weights of yarn that bring contrast and texture without compromising warmth, to tackle those chilly and windy days while adding a unique touch to your wardrobe.

I am curious to see your interpretation of the Yoriko’s Beanie; share with #letricotaveccaro.
