The Paddling Megunticook Beanie is the first of a series of patterns to support the Maine Fibershed, its farmers and mills by highlighting yarns that range from Alpaca to Yak.

Paddling Megunticook is a stress-free introduction to cables, as they only lean in one direction, and you only dip the cable needle into the hat every 19 rounds. If you’re a cable pro, make a fast beanie out of your local farmer’s yarn.

We recommend Worsted weight yarn with good stitch definition such as Shetland, Icelandic (raised in Maine!), CVM and Jacob.

With views of Camden Hills, Lake Megunticook is a favorite spot to paddle, saunter, and knit. We hope the flow of the pattern conveys the peaceful ease of thls wondrous landscape.

100% of all sales are donated to Maine Fibershed.
