This textured beanie is designed to highlight the natural character of Laneras Percheron Worsted through simple, well-balanced stitch patterns. Alternating sections of garter stitch, eyelet lace, and stockinette create gentle vertical texture and excellent stitch definition without overwhelming the fabric.
The folded, fully attached brim adds warmth and structure, while the relaxed crown provides an easy, comfortable fit. Knit seamlessly in the round, this pattern is engaging without being complicated and makes an ideal project for showcasing hand-dyed yarn.
Shown here in Percheron Worsted in the Talisman colorway, the finished hat is versatile, durable, and well-suited for everyday wear.

The Beauty of Hand Dyed
Dyeing by hand means that each skein will have it's own intricacies. Each skein is its own unique work of art. Of course, this means there can be a variation in coloring, hue, and saturation, even within the same dye batch. We do our best to ensure consistency, please please be aware that there will be variations from skein to skein and among different bases.
Non-superwash bases will have softer, more subtle colors with less variation.
