Otways is named after the beautiful temperate rainforest area in Victoria, Australia where we love to mountain bike. <3

Construction:
Otways is a simple colourwork beanie knit from the brim upwards. The three colours form a neat little chevron pattern that is perfect for those new to colourwork. Two colours are worked at a time for two of every four rounds, and colours are never carried more than three stitches.

This is a snug and close fitting beanie with two options for working the crown; a simpler option and one for those more confident in reading their work. The second option creates a beautiful snowflake like crown.

Instructions are both written and charted.
