Beanie length in colors:

VARIATION: Knit a non-fluff version using The Lamb & Kid Tod Worsted paired with Dimond Laine Elmer Tweed Worsted. Our beanie-sized sample shows Color A as Tod Worsted in Cinder with Color B as Elmer Tweed in Cork. We knit with the same needle sizes and to a similar stitch gauge. Your row gauge will be more condensed though, so where the pattern reads “Repeat Pattern Rounds 1-8…” you’ll knit four more times for a beanie with this yarn combination and six more times for a slouchy hat.

Gauge:
Approx. 18 sts/24 rows = 4” in mosaic houndstooth stitch in the round, blocked.
