Macara’s stunning stitch pattern is inspired by the leaves of the macaranga tree. It’s a classical worsted-weight beret and worked up in a gorgeous jewel tone like here it reminds us of the wonderful shapes and forms of nature in its prime.
Macara is knitted in the round from brim to crown with small interconnecting lines and centred double decreases to shape a nice crown.
