A stranded colourwork beanie hat in a solid-colour yarn and a variegated yarn, to mimic the shifting shades of traditional Fair Usle knits, without all the ends to weave in at the end. Knit in the round, featuring short row ear flaps that are incorporated into the brim, with a stranded crown.

The brim is is a written pattern and includes a link showing you how to do the german short rows. The crown section is then charted.

I used 75g of the main colour and 59g of the contrast colour for the hat, and a total of 42g for the 3 pompoms.

Pattern is to fit a 21” (53cm) head.
