"The pattern for this stylish houndstooth beanie is a must make project for every knitting fashionista. The hat is worked with two colours of DK weight yarn using the stranded knitting method. The simple colour chart is so much fun to follow, and leaves you with a warm, fashionable winter toque. This hat is knit in the round on circular knitting needles, switching to double pointed needles when necessary during the decreasing of stitches for shaping the top."
