This pattern is for a beanie worked from the bottom up and in the round using the strand-ed colourwork technique.
Stitches are cast on, corrugated rib is worked, then the body/crown chart.
This pattern contains a chart with the sample colours and a chart with symbols.
As with any of my patterns, feel free to use any techniques or shaping you prefer or need.
Under the yarn amounts I have added the information for light, medium, or dark colours besides the colours used in the sample to help you choose colours.
