This beanie is as wholesome as bread and jam at tea-time. It begins with a brioche brim which is turned up over a ribbed band, providing a soft outer layer and a snug fit respectively. A sweet band of stranded colourwork is spread around the body of the beanie, before swirling into a single-coloured crown. Knit it up as a wearable swatch before embarking on the Bread and Jam Jumper or make a scrappy version, experimenting with left over yarns.
