Melting Ice Cap (Worsted)
The Melting Ice Cap is a bold two-color design that plays with contrast and movement. Long vertical lines appear to drip and flow, creating the look of something slowly melting as it stretches downward through the fabric. Clean structure meets organic texture in this eye-catching knit. The colorwork is simple yet creative, making it an engaging project. Cozy to wear that’s full of interest. This hat is perfect for those who love visual texture, strong lines, and designs that feel a little unexpected. Perfect for knitters who enjoy texture, subtle drama, and a fresh take on two-color design, the Melting Ice Cap is a statement piece that still feels timeless. This beanie is one size and can fit most adults and teens. Chart included with written instructions.
