Forestry - PDF knitting pattern

Forestry is a lightweight beanie, ideal for spring and summer or warmer climes.The lace pattern grows out from the brim and gently works it's way towards the crown, where the shaping is elegantly worked into the lace pattern. The brim is reminiscent of the base of trees, the trunks; the the body lace pattern reflects the branches and the crown detail is like the tips of the trees, delicate and whimsical.
