The simple mosaic pattern creates an interesting geometric design that can be worked in two or more colours. The pattern is worked by slipping stitches over 8 rows of pattern with 6 rows of stocking stitch in between. It is knitted from the bottom edge up, with a K2, P2 rib band. There are two style options: a two-colour beanie or a three-colour beanie.
This beanie requires intermediate knitting skills.
