The blue melange beanie is knitted with one strand of Hobbii Alpaca Silk (colour 17) held together with one strand of Rainbow Sock Wool (colour 03).
The black beanie is knitted with two strands of Drops Alpaca (colour 8903).
Alternatively, your Edda beanie can be knitted with one strand of DK weight yarn, for example: Drops Lima (50 g = 100 m); Lana Grossa Mc Wool Merino Mix 100 (50 g = 100 m); Infinity Design Alpaca Wool (50 g = 100 m); Wool and The Gang Sugar Baby Alpaca (50 g = 116 m); Cardiff Cashmere Large (25 g = 55 m).

Edda beanie is knitted seamlessly in the round, bottom up. First, the brim is worked in rib, then the work is turned, and the body is knitted. The crown is formed with decreases – either on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle with a long cable using the Magic Loop technique.
