Introducing the Ignis Beanie! Such a fabulously addictive pattern and an opportunity to really play with colour combinations! It has a simple and memorable pattern repeat with videos to show you every round. Inspired by my all time favourite autumn past time…sitting in front of a real fire with my knitting!

The pattern offers a choice of five different yarn weights. It is knitted in the round from the bottom up using the mosaic knitting technique; therefore, only one colour is used per round. The pattern repeat is a multiple of four stitches over six rounds. Size can be adjusted accordingly if desired.
