The Forest Echo Beanie is a cosy, textured knit featuring bold dip and leaf stitches worked using simple mosaic knitting, so you’ll only ever work with one colour at a time. Designed for five different yarn weights, from Aran/Worsted through to Super Chunky, with two colour variations included. Instructions for altering both the circumference and height are also provided, giving you plenty of scope to make it your own.
