The easy, rhythmic 4 round repeat of this project allows your mind to wander to the narrow, cobbled streets of Volendam, The Netherlands. You can just picture the wooden houses decorated with colorful potted flowers and the locals dressed in traditional costumes.

The Volendam Beanie pattern is written for 5 weights: DK, worsted, light bulky, bulky and super bulky. It includes links to video tutorials for each of the special stitches. As a BONUS, there are also two ear warmer/headband options at the end of the pattern.

This pattern has been tested by a group of experienced knitters, and includes photos of their beautiful work.
