Smoke Colors – Colorwork Beanie Knitting Pattern – PDF

A beanie with a chromatic character and a soft hand: the same three-dimensional smock stitch as the base model, but with three contrasting colours that turn it into a small masterpiece of colour.

Smoke colors, the beanie is the multicolour version of the Smoke beanie, worked in the round from the bottom up in kid silk mohair held double. The smock stitch creates a three-dimensional raised diamond pattern that is further enhanced by the play of shades — from the lightest to the darkest colour. The sample in the photo uses three shades of pink, worked from bottom up. One size, designed to fit head circumferences between 52 and 58 cm (20–23 inches).
