Otways

Otways is a simple colourwork beanie knit from the brim upwards. The three colours form a neat little chevron pattern that is perfect for those new to colourwork. Two colours are worked at a time for two of every four rounds, and colours are never carried more than three stitches.

This is a snug and close fitting beanie with two options for working the crown; a simpler option and one for those more confident in reading their work. The second option creates a beautiful snowflake like crown.

Instructions are both written and charted.

Otways is named after the beautiful temperate rainforest area in Victoria, Australia where we love to mountain bike.

The sample was worked in WOOLganics Organic Merino 8ply/DK. A substitute yarn is shown below.
