About the pattern
This beanie features a 3-dimensional leaf that drizzles down from the top of the beanie like falling leaves in an autumn forest. The twisted rib makes the hem feel nice and snug and the top of the beanie is looseer, airier, and feels warm. All you need now is a walk in the forest followed by a hot cup of cocoa.
