Wheat Stitch Cat Ear Beanie

The Wheat Stitch Cat Ear Beanie is a great and easy project for a high beginner or a low intermediate with the basics under their belt. Some of its construction element is a quiet nod to the show the Apothecary Diaries (MaoMao and Jinshi's colours, wheat stitch - a nod to the episode "wheat stalks", and cat ears for our favourite cat-like female protagonist) for those who would like to sport something that reflects their interests but subtle enough not be right in your face (like a graphic tshirt). Of course, the colours can be any of your choosing; it doesn't even have to be two colours! You can continue with a single colour until you have the desired size Construction notes: The Wheat Stitch Cat Ear Beanie is worked flat, in a rectangular shape that - when finished and worn - will yield the cat ear effect.
