This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene.

Sweet colorwork shines in this playful design! I love the contrast of pairing a neutral with a bold pop of color, but you could just as easily use three contrast colors and make each row of biscuits a new shade. The cheerful pattern comes together in no time, and – like any good biscuit – you may need more than one!

This slightly slouchy beanie is perfect for single skeins with stash bits for the contrast, so if you’re looking for ways to use yarn you have on hand – this is perfect.
