The Design

“A bit of striping, a bit of ribbing—a bunch of cozy!”

In this pattern, we blend the sportiness of stripes with the snug squish of ribbing to create a cozy, classic beanie! Our design uses a clever little trick to smooth up the stripes within the ribbing texture—an all-knit row (instead of the K2/P2 ribbing) as you change colors crisps up that definition! We also provide instructions for three different sizes, so you can make stripey hats for your whole family!

This version of our is knit in two colors of Brooklyn Tweed , a worsted-weight yarn that’s woolen spun from American Columbia fleece. Its round, springy 3-ply construction provides fantastic stitch definition, and its loftiness means your sweater will be nice and cozy! Plus, Tones has a creative approach to color—Brooklyn Tweed uses traditional overdye techniques to create Overtones and Undertones, pairs of gorgeous, tonal colors!
