From the ‘Sunrise’ Pattern adapted from Barbara Walker to be worked in the round, this Entomology Beetle Hat cleanly reverses to a lovely cabled hat. My husband commented that he would wear it cabled side out, and I could wear it beetle side out. Either way, it has interesting texture. Perfect for your favorite entomologist! Range Roads are east/west grid roads of Saskatchewan’s map.

Pattern has been expertly tested and edited by 4 independent experienced knitters.

Scarf pattern to match will be available shortly.
