Luft Beanie

This addictively fun pattern will knit up in no time, thanks to Woolfolk Luft–a bulky, lighter-than-air yarn. An easy-to-memorize colorwork motif creates a striking pattern, while a ribbed brim provides extra squish and warmth. The slightly fitted shape is universally flattering, and this quick project makes an excellent gift knit.
