Vineyard Beanie using String Dolcetto DK
The Design
Not quite a cable, not really lace, this pretty little twisted eyelet stitch pattern lends itself nicely to knitting in the round. Based on a favorite shop pattern, we knit this beanie a little tighter for a stretchier fit, while cleverly mitered crown shaping resolves the stitch pattern beautifully.
The Vineyard Beanie is an absolute treat to knit in String Dolcetto DK. Soft and sweet and light, Dolcetto DK is a gentle melody in wool and cashmere! The springy foundation of merino wool supports the downy cashmere in four cozily spun plies for a lofty, harmonious yarn. Bellissimo!
