FURASTA BEANIE

……………………….

Furasta means ‘easy’ in Irish Gaelic. It also contains the word fur. Need I say more?
 


An easy garter stitch beanie, this design is ideal for bulky yarns with a fur-like or 
‘teddy’ texture, such as Höner och Eir Varv. 



You can knit the Frusta Beanie either in the round or flat, and choose a gauge that 
best suits your yarn. Then wear it any which way you like, with the brim upturned or 
unfurled. Hmm, there is the word fur again. Coincidence? I think not.



If you aren’t sure what to knit with Varv, start with this!
