EMBLA BEANIE
EMBLA is a timeless and elegant hat knitted in luxurious Cardiff Cashmere — a yarn that feels incredibly soft and light against the skin.
The hat is knit from the bottom up. Instead of traditional ribbing, the design begins with a defined cable that runs around the lower edge, creating structure and shape. The remainder of the hat is worked in stockinette stitch, allowing the softness and subtle sheen of the yarn to shine.
The cast-on is worked using both MC and CC for a decorative edge before continuing in a single color. The crown is shaped with evenly spaced decreases for a smooth, rounded finish.
A refined small project — perfect when you want to knit something simple with a luxurious feel.
