RIFT

Inspired by wet pebbles that line stream beds, Rift is a fitted toque that uses an easy to memorize slip stitch pattern to blend together two favourite colourways. It’s a great way to show off those special skeins of variegated, hand dyed yarn. Try alternating different colours for the CC for a striped or gradient effect.
