OLIVE can be knitted plain or patterned! Knitted using two strands of yarn held together, you can either choose to knit simple stripes with a little touch of fair isle. Or you can go for a much simpler beret and just use the two same coloured yarns held together throughout. Our plain beret combines black and grey – but you could use two strands of the same colour. And our patterned beret combines sections using the same colour doubled and two strands of two different colours.
