The Featherlight Beanie lives up to its name - light as a feather and impossibly soft - knit in
Lux Adorna Knits’ 100% Cashmere Sport Weight yarn. The beanie begins with a contrasting
edge and crisp ribbing, and features an alternating feather motif that circles the body of the
hat. The following pattern is recommended for intermediate-level knitters who have experience
with stranded colorwork, reading from charts, and knitting in the round. The sample shown
above uses colorways Kitten (Main Color) and Long Johns (Contrast Color).

Note: Two 230-yard skeins (one of each color) will allow you to knit two hats, reversing the
Main and Contrast Colors.
