The Dun beanie by Jean-Philippe Cliche is inspired by the Swedish word "dun" meaning "down." This design combines warmth and lightness, reminiscent of the comfort of a cozy nest. The beanie is knitted sideways in garter stitch and uses short rows for shaping the crown. For an extra squishy beanie, we knitted it using two strands of fingering-weight wool yarn and two strands of lace-weight mohair.
