We think that one of the best things about knitting is combining traditional techniques with modern elements, putting a twist on the past for styles that work today. This fitted beanie uses a few classic motifs--corrugating ribbing and the Swiss Check--in a hat that looks good on both men and women. This hat is knit with a lovely American wool and silk blend that is light (because it’s knit with a fingering weight yarn) yet warm (because of the two-stranded color technique).
