One of my favorite parts of knitting socks is the ability to play with textures and stitches, especially on cuffs, heels, and toes. And if there is one heel pattern I love more than any other, it’s the Eye Of The Partridge pattern with its slipped stitches and squishy, reinforced texture. The Dimpled Diamonds Beanie bravely asks: what if a beanie were made almost entirely in the Eye Of The Partridge stitch? The answer is a cozy beanie that knits up fast but with the added bonus of a subtly dimpled pattern. Perfect for that knitter who is bored of simple stockinette beanies but doesn’t want anything over the top. the Dimpled Diamond Beanies is the perfect pattern.
