Slanted Beanie

The Slanted Beanie, from balls of yarn to finished product, the outcome of the Initiate Knit Design Challenge.

I've had this design in the back of my head for years! I wanted to knit me a beanie with to contrasting textures. I didn't want anything too complicated coz... well... that's just not me!
and I had attempted to knit it once before, but for some reason I was never happy with the result.

It all started with the Initiate Knit Design Challenge in Fibre Muse Sanctuary Facebook Group in September 2017. It was my second time participating.

First there was the design and construction.
I knew what I wanted, just not quite sure how to get there!

Then there was yarn!
Really soft yarn; Wool, Cashmere, Silk

Then there was all kind of things...

Finally, there was a beanie!!!
