The meandering cables, and the low valleys and steep ridges of the western rib stitch pattern remind me of the meandering slopes and rivers, and the valleys and ridges of the Sierra Nevada foothills where the inspiration for this beanie was born.
It features a gorgeous braided cable that sits between a squishy, stretchy rib pattern with just the perfect amount of slouch. The pattern includes optional instructions for a no-cable western rib version for a simpler look. This beanie is both cozy and stylish and will fit into anyone’s wardrobe.
Shown in Sierra Rose Alpacas DK, we recommend Shibui Knits Maai instead!
