Pattern notes: birre is a fitted unisex beanie knit in the round.
The pattern is written for DK weight yarn, in 3 sizes and written for both a fitted crown, and a slouch version.
birre starts at the brim, and works up to the crown with a simple colour work motif between the colour transitions.
You will need to know how to work small circumferences in the round and basic colourwork. I have sourced some useful links for you. These are located on the last page of this

The pattern is both written and the colourwork is charted.
This pattern has been professionally Tech Edited and test knit.
