This relaxed beanie is a simple knit that allows the beauty of a hand-dyed skein to really shine. Worked in Alegria Grande, this hat will delight your hands and bring a smile to your face!

The striped version includes a band of garter stitch in the round to match the motif of the Jylin scarf. To work this version, complete the ribbing as noted and then work 16 rounds of stockinette (knit all rounds), followed by 16 rounds of garter stitch (knit one round, purl one round), and complete the crown in stockinette stitch.
