Branched Beanie
For cold weather knitting projects, often times one looks for inspiration from a forest. When I am designing knitwear taking inspiration from the natural world, sometimes I think of branching and repeating patterns also called fractals for which when cables are used along with ribbing, it makes the fabric textured. This is one such beanie. I have designed it using a very easy to work cable and rib pattern with twists, turns and cross overs that gives a branched appearance.
