Inspired by the pairing of Malabrigo Yarns’ Vientos in Vicennial and Blue Sky Fibers’ Woolstok Tweed in Olive Branch, the colors reminded me of the coleus planted on my back porch.

Using 1 skein of each yarn, the Coleus Cap is an beginner-friendly introduction to colorwork. It’s quick to knit, which makes it a great gift knit as well.

Finished Measurement and Gauge
The circumference is 20” (Stretches to 24”). The gauge is 16 sts and 21 rows = 4” in stockinette stitch and using B on largest needles.
