Yoriko's Beanie

This product is only for the pattern in PDF format.

🧶Looking for the yarns and the pattern all in one? Yoriko Oki has put together a kit that will be available exclusively at Knit City Toronto 2026.

Inspired by Yoriko’s Neck Warmer… Read the story in the pattern.

Yoriko’s Beanie is constructed in the round from the brim to the crown. Worked with two weights of yarn that bring contrast and texture without compromising warmth, to tackle those chilly and windy days while adding a unique touch to your wardrobe.

I am curious to see your interpretation of the Yoriko's Beanie; share with #letricotaveccaro.
