This beanie makes me think of a turtle shell. It’s solid squares instead of granny squares so that gives you a bit more protection against the cold.

I find that this pattern fits pretty much everyone, but I include instructions on how to resize if you have a particularly large head.

You’ll need 2 balls of yarn in different colors, one for the main color and one for the accent color.

It’s a very repetitive pattern that can be done in 1 day and it’s so satisfying to see all the pieces come together!
