"CHESTNUT" Cuffed Beanie · Embroidered

Leaving much of the cuffed beanie’s knit expanse open, the artwork pairs one embroidered chestnut shape with the word CHESTNUT shown in large serifed capitals. Every other part—the corners and the space below the word—remains free of marks. A careful approach has been taken so the motif and type do not crowd the layout, instead centering the chestnut itself with a subtle precision over the arched middle letters.

The nut’s deep burgundy outline gives a sense of definition, echoed by rust-orange curves hugging its sides and a lighter patch at its pointed tip. Fine, arching lines pick out the body’s curved form, while the base is highlighted with a golden tan oval speckled by tiny burgundy scratches—each one individually stitched. The tan fill of the lettering shares the nut’s base color, but is enriched by close burgundy hatching that plays across every letter’s stroke, tilting the plain serif text toward something closely observed.

Stitched details have been specifically planned to hold both color and shape crisp against the knit, giving clarity to both the nut illustration and the CHESTNUT lettering. The beanie works well for those who want one clear feature on a shape that leaves space for all else, especially in colder months.
