The Color Burst Beanie is the perfect project for you to experiment with alllll the fun color combos you can imagine! Knit with super bulky yarn, this baby begins with a half-twisted rib brim to add a little bit of texture. Moving into the body of the beanie, you work with simple, two-stitch chart repeats that are easy to memorize. And although four colors are used to create the design, you only ever use two colors at a time. All these features make this beanie a blast to knit, super approachable to anyone who’s never tried colorwork before (yet still satisfying for colorwork pros) and one of those patterns you’ll definitely want knit again and again!
