This DK (8 ply) beanie uses stranded colorwork with a corrugated ribbing band featuring a tree motif. Only two colours are used per row, and minimal stranding is required. The design avoids ‘jogs’, making it beginner-friendly for those new to stranded knitting or if you are looking for something easy and fun to do. The corrugated ribbing can be replaced with a plan ribbing if you prefer. Yarn Background colour: Kokon DK weight, colour Moon 553. Sample shown used approx. 30g or 55m.
