Free knitting guide for this Ritalin beanie. Summoning my ADHD neurodivergent knitting community…… I hope you can catch your floats better than me.

You can use 2-colour or 3-colour stranded colourwork, depending on your level of patience. You can also knit the whole beanie in colour A and duplicate stitch the words in colour B. Customise your dosage by editing the Stitch Fiddle chart!
