The lovely mosaic pattern in this beanie was designed by my youngest son, then aged seven.

He told me it was a snake and as I was trying to design a pattern inspired by Ancient Greek mosaics, I thought it appropriate to use the Ancient Greek word for snake to name this beanie.

The beanie is a lovely 2 colour stranded colourwork. 8 rows, 2-4 repeats depending on size.

The rib is a twisted rib construction,
