How annoying is it when you knit a stunning textured piece only to have a visible jog at the start of the round; and then you constantly try to hide it in the back. Ugh.
Flame has been carefully designed to completely eliminate the seam line to give a professional and clean finish - even I can’t tell where the pattern starts and ends!

Inspired by the deep orange colourway of White Gum Wool’s silk merino, Flame is an all over patterned beanie with large eyelets reminiscent of a flickering candle flame.
