Tugboat Beanie

Looking for a quick weekend project, or just eager for a chance to use up a few leftovers in your yarn stash? The Tugboat Beanie is perfect if you love shopping for color combinations, but it’s just as easy to mix and match using what you have on hand. Here’s a tip: If you’re stash-diving, make sure to use yarns that are similar in weight and fiber content. Try a color wheel for sophisticated gradients or complementary color ideas.
