This DK (8 ply) beanie uses stranded colorwork with a corrugated ribbing band featuring a diamond motif. Only two colours are used per row, and minimal stranding is required. The end of row ‘jog’ is hidden in the diamonds, making it less noticeable. The corrugated ribbing can be replaced with a plan ribbing if you prefer.
