Polar Paws Beanie (EN)

€5.50

The Polar Paws Beanie is worked bottom up with 2 strands of brushed alpaca, which means this fuzzy dream of a hat can be made in just one evening! The simple cable motif makes it an engaging project to work on, and the wide folded rib makes you look really cool while keeping your ears really warm.

In the photo you see my sister wearing the beanie in the Portuguese mountains just before the sun set. Taking the photos brought back memories from the good old days (2016ish) when she very kindly, but most often a bit reluctantly, would act as a model for my knitted hats. Back then, I would snap the photos on my dad’s old iPad that I had decided would be in much better use in my hands. So, thank you family for always supporting my projects, both voluntarily and sometimes not so much.
