I’m generally not a gift knitter. It’s not that I don’t want to make beautiful handknit treasures for my loved ones. I just struggle with a soft deadline and always over commit my time.

The Winter Foraging Cap is a bulky weight beanie sizes for kids and grown ups. Knit on sizes US 10 and 11 needles, it knits up faster than a Nor’easter storm can blow in and makes the perfect last minute gift for anyone on your list. Cap includes a double brim and decorative lateral braid or vikkel braid detail with a simple stockinette rise.

Thank you so much for your support of Winter Foraging. Please use the tag #winterforagingcap to share with me on instagram! Seeing your yarn choices and watching your progress is the greatest joy. Happy knitting!
