The Essential Beanie is knitted from the bottom up in the round with double-stranded yarn.  Worked in classic twisted rib, the beanie has enough length to experiment with different cuff styles. Double stranding the baby alpaca yarn gives it extra structure and warmth. This unisex style makes for a wonderful handmade gift.
