From Peru, these Andean cap uses five bright colors, a bird motif, and four “chimneys” on its top. Felted slightly for stability and texture. Uses a Sough American technique that combines both row knitting and circular knitting to produce intarsia designs and eliminate seaming. Yarn yardage estimated based on designer’s notes.
