The lettering is knitted in (jacquard) in light blue on the cream band, so it is part of the knit rather than printed or stitched on. ## Detailed Result The finished beanie shows the lettering clearly on both sides, with the cream band and the folded cuff giving it a classic varsity look. ## Project Specifications **Client / Brand** A lifestyle brand **Product Type** Cuffed Rib Beanie **Decoration** Jacquard Knit **Destination** International **Lead Time** 14 days (standard) **Colours** Light blue, cream **Knit** 2x2 rib **Gauge** 12 gauge **Cuff** Folded cuff **Logo** Lettering knitted in (jacquard) on the front and back Standard production lead time is approximately 14 days.
