mountain hi BEANIE is all about SCRAP YARN! It is a faded colorwork hat that is a fun project to get creative with. Stick with a fade, or choose any colors you find in your stash to create something more unique. The motif is repetitive and easy to memorize - a perfect hat if you are a beginner to intermediate knitter looking to try colorwork for the first time! Alright, it’s time to cast on and do some stash busting!

Pattern includes both written and chart instructions.
