Keeping you warm and supporting your creative year is Tù nián or Year of the Rabbit.
This year we have a water rabbit which means the coming year should bring harmony and calm; gentle and clear like morning dew settled on on a leaf.

This is a pattern for beanie worked in the round and using the stranded colourwork technique.

Since there are longer floats over some colourwork sections, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique included in this pattern.
