Using super-soft Capretta by KnitPicks (one ball each of 2 different colors), some cabling, and some color work, Pebble Beach is your ultimate cozy pattern to welcome fall!

Pebble beach is a child of colorwork. It is striped and marbled—a texture created by knitting two strands of yarn together (whether it’s doubling one color, or knitting two colors together). The pattern is a twist on a Fair Isle exercise, with some basic cabling, to keep it interesting.

Why stripes? Why the pebbly tones? It’s all-purpose, a basic, a neutral. It’s a modern touch on a classic style; an urban vision of a suburban legend. It’s what you’ll wear on that chilly beach day, watching the waves hit the shore while you walk around in a jacket with your friends, to shout out your unique idea of timelessness.

This hat is worked in the round on circular needles.
