Marta Beanie
PDF PATTERN
This is the perfect bottom-up classic ribbed hat. A timeless design in an easy-to-follow pattern with a couple of tricks up its sleeve.
The Marta Beanie is a perfect stash booster: grab a mini skein or some pretty fingering leftovers and whatever mohair or alpaca is left in your yarn cabinet. It is going to look pretty no matter what!
Relaxing, gorgeous and so addictive to knit, you will not resist casting on one after another.
