Work your first beret from the top-down using alternating stripes of natural boucle and a jewel tone fingering yarn.

The Mindy Reversible Beanie is a trendy and functional double-layered knit hat that offers two stylish looks in one. Designed using a clever provisional cast-on technique, this beanie is knit as a seamless tube, allowing you to create a fully reversible, two-tone design.
The first half of the beanie is worked in one color, shaped towards the crown, and then set aside while the second half is picked up from the provisional cast-on and worked in a contrasting shade. The result? A cozy, double-thick hat with a folded contrast brim, providing extra warmth and a polished, modern look. Whether you prefer a bold color combination or a classic neutral pairing, the Mindy Reversible Beanie is the perfect accessory for chilly days and effortless style.

This lovely scarf is reversible with wrapped cluster puff stitches set against a background of marled seed stitch. This particular pattern has the puff stitches arranged in diagonal accent stripes, but they can easily be rearranged into an all-over pattern, horizontal stripes or any design that the knitter chooses. The pink and cream yarns create a soft, subtle contrast between the puff stitches and the textured background, but it would be simple to achieve a bolder look by using colors that contrast more strongly. The selvedge stitches of the scarf are worked as twisted slip-stitches for neat edges and the twisted fringe is added with a crochet hook after knitting for a decorative finish.
