Description
This knitting pattern PDF is for the Cogs Mosaic Beanie. This beanie uses slipped stitches or mosaic knitting to create the colourwork pattern. There are two style options: a two-colour beanie or a three-colour beanie.
The simple mosaic pattern creates a graphic geometric design that can be worked in two or more colours. The pattern is worked by slipping stitches over 8 rows of pattern with 6 rows of stocking stitch in between.
It is knitted from the bottom edge up, with a K2, P2 rib band.
The Cogs Beanie requires intermediate knitting skills.
