This beanie pattern is part of Nancy Bates’ California Road Trip Collection. It appears in the book Knitting California.

This pattern uses 3 colors of DK weight yarn:

Color A - 33g/99yds/90m
Color B - 25g/75yds/69m
Color C - 20g/60yds/55m

Recommended Notions:

• 3 stitch markers - 2 of one color and 1 of another color
• Tapestry needle
• Crochet hook for adding vertical stripes after knitting is complete. Choose one that is approximately the same size as your larger needle. If using a size 7 needle, hook size H-8/5mm is a good match.
• Optional: 3-4 buttons (approx. 5/8 inch / 1.5cm)
• Optional: sewing needle and thread in a complementary color for sewing on buttons
