PATTERN DETAILS
Borealis is a fully reversible beanie that can be worn with a messy bun, high ponytail, or with your hair down. The chevron texture is made with mosaic knitting, which does more than provide visual interest, it also gives the fabric a pliable quality that allows for a perfectly snug fit. With each color using less than a mini skein of fingering weight yarn, it is perfect for scrap busting and gift giving!
