Valley Yarns Fennel is a close-fitting twist stitch beanie knit in Becket. Building on the continuing popularity of Japanese stitch patterns, it’s a stylish way to keep your head warm. Fennel is worked in the round from the bottom twist stitch ribbed edge up to the decrease shaping at the top of the crown. In between, a dramatic twist stitch pattern is worked with details that give it a unique three-dimensional quality. Valley Yarns Becket is a scrumptious blend of superfine alpaca and wool that is gently heathered. The cable pattern is charted and written out.
