Occasionally, I take some graph paper and doodle shapes and designs on the paper. I seem to naturally steer toward sharp lines that create geometric patterns allover a garment. The Diamond and Dots pattern is modern and clean, creating an interesting and unique accessory for chilly days!

The two color stranding technique used is simple enough for knitters that are just beginning colorwork while still being engaging enough for an experienced knitter. The beanie fits snugly to the head and over the ears and folds easily to fit in a coat pocket. The hat can be masculine or feminine based on the colorways chosen by the knitter. The knitter also has a choice of creating a snug fitting beanie or a beanie that slouches.
