This striking beanie is worked in a graphic stranded colourwork pattern that forms a linking pattern of circle motifs.
The colourwork pattern is worked over a 22-stitch, 12-round repeat. The beanie can be made with a turn-back brim or a 4cm-wide brim of K1, P1 rib.
The colourwork pattern can be worked from the chart or the written instructions. There are two charts provided - one with a dark background and one with a light background. Work from the chart that matches your colours as it will be easier to follow the pattern.
This beanie requires intermediate knitting skills.
