Prosta in Polish means easy, which I really wanted this pattern to be. It includes instructions on how to create a reversible, striped beanie.

It’s worked fully in the round. Prosta Beanie is also a perfect canvas for a duplicate stitch design of your dreams. I’ve included a chart for my signature Rat and a swirly Rat Tail so that you may also have
a very rat hat!
