Mahika
Discontinued.
This digital pattern is no longer available online.
I studied cultural and social anthropology in school. Because of that background and my continued interest in the subject, I always seek out to see old buildings, indigenous culture and ancient artifacts in my travels. Mahika, which is Sanskrit for earth, is inspired by hand-painted tile work I’ve seen many of my travels.
This beanie hat is worked from the bottom up using a stranded colorwork technique.
Currently, Mahika is only available for purchase at your local yarn store or via PDF download from Bijou Basin Ranch.
