Vespyr beanie is worked in the round, bottom up in a mosaic pattern, meaning you make the pattern with slipped stitches and only work with one colour at a time. The brim is worked in three sections, mosaic, stockinette and rib. The beanie comes in four sizes.
The mosaic pattern is made with charts and other sections are written.
