The Gemelli Beanie is a versatile design in double layers, just like its name, there are two shapes plus two color styles you obtain at once in one beanie! An elongated shape with a nice color combo; or a docker hat with a thick brim, either color can be shown outward depending on your choice!
This beanie is cast on from the middle of the tube, and then the brim is worked in double stockinette stitches in both colors simultaneously in the round. After, single layers are knitted separately in stockinette stitches and decreased on each side.
