Pescador Beanie Light
The Crochet Pescador Beanie Light is the perfect one-skein-wonder for that special skein of fingering weight yarn you have saved up! With a vertical construction and ribbed finish which looks like knitted fabric, it is a beanie for everyday wear, which will complement any outfit while keeping you warm.
It is the little sister to the Pescador Beanie, with the same construction and ribbed finish, however, it is made with fingering weight instead of worsted weight yarn and uses a slightly different stitch.

Lion Brand, Sock Ease Yarn (75% Wool. 25% Nylon)
