Scandi Beanie

The Scandi Beanie is inspired by classic Nordic knitwear, reimagined with clean lines and graphic colorwork for a modern wardrobe. Worked in soft merino held with silk mohair and simple colorwork with no long floats, it is a quick, addictive knit. Since the colorwork uses very little yarn, this design is also ideal for a scrap yarn project.
