Description
The Forest Echo Beanie is a cosy, textured beanie knitting pattern featuring bold dip and leaf stitches worked using simple mosaic knitting. Because the colourwork is created using slipped stitches, you’ll only ever work with one colour at a time — giving you all the impact of colourwork without having to manage two yarns at once.
The pattern is written for five yarn weights, from Aran/Worsted through to Super Chunky, and includes two colour variations. Instructions for altering both the circumference and height are also included, giving you plenty of scope to make your Forest Echo Beanie your own.
