Here is a beanie inspired by the glamorous Art Deco style of the 1930s. The hat features a stylized stranded colorwork in rich colors, reminiscent of something that a character from an Agatha Christie novel might wear.

The stranded colorwork pattern involves using three colors in the same round, which represents an additional challenge but results in a stunning result! Additionally, I made a matching garter-stitch neck warmer using the leftover yarn to complete the look. Have fun!
