Hello everyone! this beanie is an updated/second version of a project I did back in 2016. I have recently revisited the pattern and I found that the instructions were not easy to follow and unnecessarily complicated, So I decided to give this beautiful beanie a makeover. Following the new instructions, you can make two variations of the new hat; you can make a striped beanie using two yarn colors, or don’t bother with switching and just stick with a single color. I hope you enjoy making and wearing these hats, so let me know which one you like best.

• Hook size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 4” = 10 cm, change to a larger hook size. If you get too few stitches on 4” = 10 cm, change to a smaller hook size.
