Inspired by that special box of treasured objects that captures a favorite place and time in memory, this beanie combines the texture of Pebble and the lush softness of Gossamer. The variegated slubs stand out to create lovely little pops of color through the fog of Gossamer like found treasure. The reverse stockinette stitch accentuates the pebble texture, but the entire hat is worked on the wrong side in knit stitches and then turned inside out at the end.
