The Design

“A smart ear-guard.”

Freshy Ahmadian Millsap designed this versatile beanie for her brother-in-law, an architect in Chicago. It had to look smart for meetings and a little hip for weekends. And it had to keep that ‘Windy City’ wind out of his ears. Check, check, and check! The dense tweed stitch pattern takes on a handsome honeycomb look when worn inside out. ‘Cuz that happens.

We’ve knit our Cap in wonderful, worsted-weight Berroco Ultra Wool. This 100% superwash wool is the whiz kid of the wool world. It has a nice 4-ply twist that’s sturdy and machine-washable without compromising a bouncy softness. No wind will whip through this woolliness!
