Pattern Inspiration:

This pattern was inspired by the element of Fire! Ardere means “to burn” in Latin, which was just perfect for the design! Ali’s colorway focused on the coals and embers glowing under the flames, which was such a unique interpretation of the element. I also pulled inspiration from those hot coals when choosing the stitch pattern for this beanie. The Ardere Beanie is the fourth and final pattern in the Elements Collection!
