This is a joint project with Wild Wood Stitches and Gathered Sheep Yarns. Harriet chose a truly festive fabric to pair with her Harris Tweed wool and created a project bag just for us. The bag/yarn/pattern kits are gone, but Wild Wood Stitches has plenty more lovely bags to chose from.

This pattern includes instructions to work a knitted beanie using the stranded colourwork technique and worked from the bottom rib up with corrugated rib and decreases shaping the crown. It also shows the chart in colour and with symbols.

Since there are longer floats, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique (included in pattern).
