I had the honor of designing North Bend for A Yarn Less Raveled 6th Anniversary e-Book for their celebration weekend! North Bend is a quick knit that is a great project for first time cable knitters or a handmade gift! The hat can be knit with one skein of worsted weight yarn and comes in two sizes featuring a fitted or a slouch style. A two by two rib flows into a garter rib and a cable panel that keeps things interesting. Finish North Bend with a trendy fur pompom or one made of yarn for a stylish accessory!
