knit cap

Intarsia is a knitting technique that uses individual balls of yarn to give color to specific areas. This method is used for this baby alpaca blend hat designed by Peruvian artisan Martiza Oviedo and crafted with a pearl grey base featuring geometric patterns in bright marigold and purple.

This charming traditional knitted cap was created by Hilando Victoria of Cuzco, Peru from pure soft baby alpaca. The cantuta "cantua flower" design is based of the national flower of Peru, which appears in Inca legends. The cap is typically worn in cold weather and features flaps to help keep ears warm, too.
