The Armley Beanie was one of our 2016 MKAL patterns and should you need any help, you can find an extensive discussion here.

There is also a beret version of this pattern, and you can buy the two patterns together for $15 - there is no need to use a code, the system automatically does it for you!

A decorative ribbed band feeds into structured cables, creating a striking visual effect. The pattern contains the instructions for both the beanie and slouchy versions.

Pattern is worked in the round and bottom up, and features 4 sizes.
