Inspired by the iconic mid-century designs of Sweden’s Bohus Stickning cooperative, Oyunn’s lively stranded colorwork is punctuated by artfully syncopated purl stitches. Knit the textural four-color design in smooth, polished Peerie for extra-crisp finish, or in woolen-spun Loft for a retro Bohus-style look, in your choice of trim beanie or cozy watchcap styles.
