The striped hat will put you in a good mood even on those "gray days", and the soft yarn Merino Extrafine 85 will keep your head warm. The beanie is worked in rounds beginning with a ribbing pattern, then you continue with the stripes in stockinette. Instructions include details for a head circumference of 52-54 cm/20-21 in. A great project if you would like to discover how to knit multiple-colored hats.
