I rediscovered an old and little know stitch and used it to write a pattern for a truly gorgeous beanie.
It will keep the coldest of air out, all winter long and for many winters to come.

Perfect for all kinds of winter activities, including skiing, skating and tobogganing.

The easy to execute stitch (just two rounds make the pattern), called double stockinette, creates a wonderfully cushiony and supple fabric that feels amazing.
So warm and soft! Nothing to do with double knitting, but it does create a double layered fabric.
This way it is really warm and cosy. It keeps its shape really well,shape very well and always springs back to
its original loveliness. At the same time, it is also nice and stretchy.
Largest size will fit small adult head.

Knit in the round, seamless design.
