Berlin Twist Beanie
Berlin Twist is the perfect beanie for those cold winter days. Choose your yarn combination and make sure your fabric feels nicely dense, that will keep you warm, no matter what the weather is like.
Crisp air takes your breath away the moment you step outside. The ground is frozen and sparkling under your feet. You feel the sunshine bright in your eyes, even though the sun is just barely above the horizon. It must be winter!
Berlin Twist is the perfect beanie for those cold winter days. I knitted mine during a surprisingly cold December weekend in Berlin – hence the name, Berlin Twist. Choose your yarn combination and make sure your fabric feels nicely dense, that will keep you warm, no matter what the weather is like.
