This pattern has lace eyelets in a diagonal pattern. The all over texture creates a fabric and will keep your head toasty warm, even with the eyelets! Made to cover the ears, this hat is a great go-to winter accessory.

The lace technique used is simple enough for knitters that are just beginning colorwork while still being engaging enough for an experienced knitter. The beanie fits snugly to the head and over the ears and folds easily to fit in a coat pocket. The hat can be masculine or feminine based on the colorways chosen by the knitter. The knitter also has a choice of creating a snug fitting beanie or a beanie that slouches.
