Techniques and Notes:
The beanie is knitted in two colors in one piece, using intarsia in the round wrap and turn method. Then the body of the beanie is divided in two parts, the contrast color part is placed onto a spare needle and the main color part is knitted in back and forth using short rows for ears shaping and join as you go method for seamless result.
The nose part is simply attached with a button sewn on through two layers of the hat - nose and body.
