Big Chevron is a simple stranded beanie knitted in the round from the brim to the crown. The easy two-tone motif makes it a great project for people wanting to try stranded knitting for the first time. Take it a step further by adding the optional pom pom and 2 x 2 tubular cast-on or keep it simple by leaving them out. For the Qing Melted Baby Suri version please refer to my Melted Chevron pattern.
