Wrought iron gates, windows, screens, and stair railings can be incredibly detailed in examples of California Revival architecture. I wanted to play with the ways ironwork scrolls and twists across vertical ribs in these pieces. Twisted and twisted travelling stitches were the perfect way to translate this to knitting.

This cozy beret can also be worn as a beanie — just block it flat rather than over a plate.

Yarn: Shibui Merino Alpaca, 50% alpaca/50% merino, heavy worsted, 132 yds / 100 gms, 2 skeins, Burgundy
