Nordic Wintering Beanie

The Nordic Wintering Beanie is a little nod to Nordic colorwork traditions and the seventies. It is a quick knit with a folded brim for extra warmth. Worked in the same motif family as the [Nordic Wintering Infinity Cowl][1] and [Mittens][2], it can be the starting point or the finishing touch for the whole set. CONSTRUCTION & NOTES The beanie is knitted bottom up with a double folded brim for extra warmth. It features 2 x 2 ribbing and Tubular Cast On. Note, there is no designated main color and only two (2) colors are worked per row. The pattern includes instructions how to work the 2 by 2 Tubular Cast On without a provisional cast on.
