Step by step (by steps) helps you move forward. Big changes often come from taking small steps, right? That’s the inspiration behind this beanie—and its name. The elongated stitches and the braid, with their compact structure, represent these small steps: every positive step you take—whether on a walk, while crafting this hat, or simply in life—helps you progress, and that’s when something beautiful happens. In this case, those steps have resulted in this lovely beanie!
