Pisco Punch

Texture and rustic yarn - what more can I say? This fitted beanie features ribs that play off each other and lead into the main texture. A simple gathered crown in reverse stockinette adds a final element to the layers here, while keeping things simple. The design is easily modified for depth or width, and the motif is a simple one - both charted and written. You could whip out 3 or 4 of these in plenty of time for the holidays! I designed this hat to showcase the lovely Verb for Keeping Warm, Pioneer yarn. I paired my Pioneer, in Tempranillo, with this motif, featuring both positive and negative spaces that made the quality of the 100% organic wool just pop! The Pioneer looks great in the whole thing. It's round and soft with the right amount of give for an everyday hat. Similar yarns are highlighted, there may be different stretch or texture with different yarns, experiment and find what works! - just remember always check your gauge.
