I wanted to design a beanie to get me in the holiday spirit, and this guy did just the trick. The beanie is a simple design featuring moss stitch and a tree motif, using elongated slipped stitches to create a trunk.

Worked in worsted weight, it knits up fairly quickly. I’m currently on my fourth version and haven’t got tired of making it yet. I’ve knit the design in both Malabrigo Worsted and Malabrigo Rios and like how it looks in both a single and 4 ply yarn.
