Keep your head warm with this birdy beanie!

Whether you’re birdwatching, exploring, or simply sitting on your porch, this delightfully thick and soft beanie will keep you snug in the great outdoors. Featuring a bird poised against a wintery background, it’s the perfect companion in cold weather.

This is a double knitted piece, meaning it is fully reversible. Both layers are worked at the same time.

The pattern provides detailed instructions, so even if you’ve never double knitted before, the skills are broken down to help you get there.
