Impressive but easy to make beanie

Inspired by the district of Kreuzberg in Berlin, this design plays with contrast and clever repeats, resulting in a swirly overlapping eﬀect. This faux brioche knit-look beanie is deceivingly easy to make. The beanie is worked in the round, in one piece. At the end you will have only 4 ends to weave in. The pattern uses two colors and moss stitches to create a braid-like pattern. The beanie has matching fingerless mitts which are made from the gauge swatch.

This pattern is written in US terms and uses metric measurements. Video tutorials included for tricky steps.
