This super bulky weight ‘Tetra Beanie’ uses multiple colors of yarn to create a fun fair isle design with an extra cozy feel. This pattern comes with instructions for both the 2-color and 4-color options, so there are
endless possibilities for color combinations!

I have included written instructions for both the brim and decrease sections. There are two charts to follow for the colorwork body section, one for each of the two hat options. Before beginning, you will want to choose either 2 or 4 colors, depending on which hat you are making. When choosing colors, I suggest using high contrasting colors to really show off the design.
