Red and black piece of circular knitting still mounted on the knitting needles. The knitting is folded and the needles are lined up parallel and bound together using white and black yarns that is still attached to the knitting. Small skeins of the black and white are attached. A red pattern band is complete: white shapes aligned diagonally are repeated in reflective symmetry. A second band is half complete and alternated legs in trousers with legs in a skirt.
Knitting is traditionally done on Taquile for men's and infant's hats. The neck purses were developed entirely as an item for sale to outsiders. They also modified a vest form they wore into a tourist sale item by putting knitted panels on the front. They now make a wider variety of hats of various colours, including one for women, to sell to tourists.
