Paddle Path Beanie

The inspiration for the paddle path beanie pattern came from my love of kayaking. I wanted to create a functional and stylish accessory that could be worn on the water or while enjoying other outdoor activities. The unique paddle path design on the beanie is a nod to my passion for kayaking and the great outdoors. This beanie is knitted bottom up and in the round, using two different colours of wool yarn. There are two verisons of the beanie, a normal and a slouchy.
