The Rise Up Beanie was inspired by the simple power of hands reaching upward—hands that lift, support, and strive for something brighter. Designed in bold, contrasting colors, the motif symbolizes resilience and rising together. With a grounding braided brim and a rhythmic pattern of hands climbing upward, this beanie celebrates growth, hope, and the strength found in community. DETAILSThe Rise Up Beanie features a beautifully textured Latvian braid that frames the design with classic, heirloom charm and includes crisp stranded colorwork contrast while adding warmth and structure to the fabric. Optional cast on method using a 1X1 tubular cast on in the round. Video tutorials included for provisional Cast on and Latvian Braid.
