“Sidewinder Beanie” by Aspen Leaf Knits/Ginny Jones

I love how this toque is inspired by hiking trails.

I’ve made this pattern once before and always love how it works up quickly and comes out looking so nice every time!

What do y’all watch or listen to while you knit/ crochet/ craft?

I’ve been swapping between watching through the office for the 3rd time and listening to various audiobooks.
