SALTGRASS

Named for the perennial salt-grass that grows along our local coastline, the Saltgrass beanie combines a delicate spikelet-like cable reminiscent of the salt-grass florets that appear every Spring. Its all-over rib pattern visually stabilises the design much like the physical effects of salt-grass traveling across the dunes. Knitted in the round from brim to crown in the softest baby alpaca from Amano Yarns, the Saltgrass beanie is an enjoyably quick knit to develop your cable skills and prepare for a coastal Spring.
