Filigree Beanie is the sister pattern to Filigree Slouch.

This pattern was originally published as part of a kit for Jamieson & Smith. Since the rights reverted back I’ve often wanted to reknit and republish the pattern, but never found the right yarn for until I purchased this skein of Third Vault Yarns Gytha Worsted.

The pattern has had a thorough make-over and extra sizes added. The pattern is worked from the bottom up and in the round with 5 sizes included.
