Bundle Ryder’s yarn + pattern at H+W.com!

At H+W, we’re all about the beanie hat. Ryder by Sarah Shepherd is the perfect lightweight colorwork beanie made for cold winter days through to the spring thaw. We adore the high contrast raven, fawn, and mustard version, but also have a thing for the sweet low contrast version in ash, fawn, and cabernet. We can’t wait to see what colors people pair for this M.C. Escher-inspired motif!
