The Polka Dot Purls Beanie is a bottom-up hat with a subtle texture designed to highlight the delicate color shifts of Manos del Uruguay Fino yarn. Navajo plying is used as you knit to transform fingering weight yarn into chunky weight, which results in a unique play on color with every stitch. A simple stitch pattern interrupts stockinette every few rounds to form polka dots in this relaxing and joyful knit.
