At a ski resort, Black Diamond runs are meant for experts only - and that is what this beanie was inspired by. It is a classic, retro diamond design meant to go with you on your adventures. Whether it is a powder day skiing or a night on the town, this pattern will provide a unique accessory that you are guaranteed to get compliments on - trust me, I know from personal experience.

This pattern calls for basic, simple color work in super bulky yarn. If you are new to color work, it is a great introduction piece. It is also a great pattern to use up scraps! You will use 3 colors, a main color and 2 contrasting colors. The yardage below is approximately what you’ll need.

Main Color - 40-50 yards
Contrasting Color 1 - 15-20 yards
