Whether you are an experienced knitter or adventurous beginner, this cute beanie can make your sweetheart smile! The colorwork is charted and a perfect introduction to stranded colorwork. There are also written instructions for knitters who prefer that to charts

My sample used less than one skein of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted as the main color and some double stranded stash yarn for the contrast. In fact, you can even utilize lighter weight leftovers by triple stranding fingering weight or double stranding DK with fingering as I did.
