Rulebreaker Beanie // Beanie with Colorwork

Rulebreaker beanie is inspired by rebellion against systematic orders and closed minds that cannot see other, different ways.

There are systematic wavy lines around the beanie worked with stranded colorwork technique. These lines are interrupted by protrusions coming from the brim. Around these protrusions, lines are changing their rhythms and forming new pathways. These protrusions are the catalyst to change to our mindset and to see the world with another perspective and a different rhythm.

There is also a cowl version of this design which has been published in “Knitrino” app. Check it out!

This beanie is worked in the round, bottom-up. 1x1 ribbing is worked for the brim. Wavy stranded colorwork motif is worked on the body. As the colorwork progresses, there are long floats of CC. To prevent these long floats, ladder-back jacquard (invisible stranding) is used. Crown is divided into 4 sections and stitches are decreased on both sides of each of these sections.
