The all new Ky beanie…
It’s a perfectly simple knit in a unisex design. Knitted from the bottom up with a sharp looking twisted one by one rib pattern, the increased bigger middle body features a wide rib design and the crown gets evenly decreased, creating a lovely top view.
You’ll enjoy the soft feel of the yarn and the interesting marled look if you knit yours with the kit mentioned.

The pattern is fully written for sizes ranging in circumference from S-20” and 7.75” in height, M-22”- 8.75” height, L-24”- 9.75” height.

The shawl shown in photo that kind of matches the beanie is the Morton shawl.
