Riaa Beanie
The Riaa Beanie is an advanced-beginner pattern that beautifully captures the flowing movements of water, inspired by the word "riaa," meaning stream or creek in my Italian dialect. This beanie is worked in the round from the bottom up, featuring soft, inviting cables that add texture and warmth to the design. Available in three sizes—Toddler, Child, and Adult—this beanie ensures everyone in the family can stay cozy and stylish.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend project or a thoughtful handmade gift, the Riaa Beanie offers both comfort and elegance with its snug fit and gentle cable details.
