Have you ever tried a mandala yarn before? I’m sure the answer to that question is probably a yes, right? 😉 Well, when I saw the Mandala Tweed Stripes from Lion Brand I knew I had to check it out. I don’t normally gravitate towards striping yarns but something about these colors were calling to me. I’m a sucker for tweed! Somebody mentioned in my Instagram comments that the colors remind them of strata layers and I have to say, I definitely agree! The Strata Beanie pattern is fun and quick to make.
I incorporated some surface stitching which I think gives it the perfect finishing touch. Plus there are so many different colors you can use for different holidays! Red and green for a christmas beanie, white and pink for Valentines day, or maybe even make it in your school colors! I think it would be great in your team’s colors too!

I’ve been getting a ton of requests for a pattern using the waistcoat stitch, so The Snow Cone Beanie is born! If you follow me on Instagram you know that i’ve been creating a lot of designs using this stitch and its one of my favs! I’m working on getting a youtube channel set up so I can have videos for all of you to go with my patterns…but for now, I’ll be linking you to videos created by others that I find helpful!
The yarn I used for this pattern is super chunky! Be sure you are using a yarn weight of at least 6. I recommend Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick if you don’t have any WAK on hand.
Be sure to follow me on Instagram and tag me in your makes! I love seeing your finished work. 🙂
