Colourwork is charted, decrease instructions are written out.

Quite a while ago I stumbled upon the beautiful work of the Orcadian woodturner Michael Sinclair. One little bowl stood out to me, marked with a geometric pattern that just wanted to be turned into a colourwork chart. This chart then remained unused forever, until I tried – and failed – to knit a hat. Instead of the pattern it was supposed to be, I turned it into a simple beanie with just a tiny bit of colourwork. Finally, the Sinclair chart had found its home.

Materials:
approx. 35g/200m of MC yarn (beige)
approx. 5g/3m of CC yarn (red)

Adult Medium (Large)

This hat is meant to be a tight fitting beanie. It should have slight negative ease.
