I found a ball of Olympia Gold when I browsed through the supplies of my local yarn store. One ball should be enough to knit one beanie? This was worth giving a try.
So I started from scratch kitting my beanie, which, after 3 years now, still is my favourite on cold winter days!

I was also curious how the colourworks of Olympia Classic would work out in comparison, and started knitting hats as gifts for friends. Along, I took the opportunity to write down notes and create this pattern to share with you.

The hat can easily be done in 1 - 2 evenings, and is suitable for beginners (you should know how to knit with a set of double-pointed needles, though).
