Zircon Beanie

This graphic colourwork beanie is a lot of fun to make.

The stranded colourwork pattern is worked over a 6-stitch, 20-round repeat. There are two style options for knitting this beanie. In the 3-colour beanie, the background is worked in two colours. In the 2-colour beanie, the background is worked in a single colour. It is knitted from the bottom edge up, with a K2, P2 rib band. The colourwork pattern can be worked from the chart or the written instructions.

It is intended to be worn with approx 3-6cm/1¼-2¼ins negative ease.
