In an effort to balance financial affordability with fair, sustainable pricing, I have adopted a Pay What Works pricing model. This allows you to pay what you are able while valuing all of the work that goes into making each pattern. The price listed reflects what I believe to be the true value of the pattern and the work of all those that make the pattern possible.

Use the coupon codes at checkout for the price that works best for you. No code is needed to pay the listed price.

The Banneton Hat brings a modern aesthetic to traditional comforts. The hat is knit using brioche cables to form shapes inspired by woven Celtic knots. The wool used in the hat comes from sheep raised on Foster Sheep Farm and dyed with plant-based pigments grown right on their property. Even the name, Banneton, which is a handmade wicker basket for proofing bread, evokes the pleasure of enjoying your self-crafted goods in your hearth and home. The traditionally inspired cables will allow you to make a modern statement, spotlighting your skills and intricate crafting.

Instructions are provided in both written and charted form.
