The Specular beanie was designed with the idea of reflection. 2 skeins will produce two mirrored beanies.
This knit pattern is written for 5 weights; super bulky, light super bulky, bulky, light bulky, and worsted. It includes written instructions, as well as some video tutorials for stitches you may not be familiar with.
This beanie is knit in the round and uses stranded colorwork. The possibilities for different color combinations are endless!
I hope you enjoy it!
