Soundbite Beanie

Simplicity shines in this smart little beanie. The slipped stitch detail is rhythmic and easy to knit – you’ll zip through the tracks in no time. Yarns with dramatic contrast really show off the detail, but you can aim for a softer look with pastels, if you prefer. Customize the colors to suit your favorite person.
