A simple ribbed beanie, knit with 2 strands of different coloured yarn. A good project to use up skeins of DK weight left over from other projects, and a fast knit too. Knit it in a colour and black for an easy way to change up your monochrome wardrobe, or combine two bright colours to have some fun!

On the pattern page you’ll find a fun little tool I made for you try out different colour combinations of yarns & pompom.
