INSPIRATION

This not so basic, slightly slouchy beanie is a fresh take on the modern, store bought look that’s gaining traction lately - it will be a perfect gift for that someone on your list who prefers things simple. Knit from just one skein of Bespoke DK, it will warm your head in style. I was inspired by the yarn itself - cashmere shines in simple, minimalist designs!

This pattern includes two versions of crown shaping - traditional rounded one pictured on grey hat and a new structured one - see cream hat photo for a visual. Pick either one or knit one of each!
