Kaste Hat Kit

Designed by Joanna Ignatius

A slouchy beanie worked in the round from the brim up, with a knit-and-purl pattern that shifts each round to give the body a fine staggered texture. A ribbed brim sets the fit.

The kit includes one skein of Eco Cashmere in the color of your choice, both needle sizes you will need, and the printed pattern.
