Beanie "Kjellrun", Knitting Pattern, Women One Size

What do we need when it's storming and snowing outside? A chic hat that is cuddly warm, has an effective pattern and is uncomplicated to knit!.

Beanie KJELLRUN is knitted with needle size 4.5 - 5, which means this is a quick knit! I used a yarn made of soft alpaca, but you can also use virgin wool yarns or even 8-ply sock yarns. The Diamond Pattern is easy to knit if you have some practice in knitting and know the basic techniques. And the pattern is both, charted and written!
