Loopy Diamonds Beanie Pattern

We adore stranded color-work hats, and decided it would be fun to add another layer of interest to this simple pattern by using loopy boucle yarn for our contrast colors. Isn’t it sweet how the little loopy diamonds puff out of the smooth background?

We used Malabrigo Rios for our main color, and Isager Boucle for the diamonds.

You'll need US size 6 and 8 16" circular needles, size 8 DPN, a tapestry needle, and a stitch marker.
