Bubblegum – The Beanie
A Head Full of Dreams · Level: Beginner
The beanie people comment on. Pink mohair against natural white alpaca, with gold thread through the whole brim. The colour is not shy – it is bubblegum pink, exactly as much as the name promises – but the natural white body keeps it in check.
Fresh. Happy. For grey days.
Styling
The pink goes best with grey and black – let the beanie be the only colour. Fold the brim narrower for a close fit, wider for more slouch.

The story behind the design
Bubblegum is a beanie for grey days. The pink mohair is only in the brim, but the brim is what frames the face, and the gold thread runs all the way through. It does something for your face in November, and something for the mood of the people you meet.
A Head Full of Dreams
A Head Full of Dreams is a collection inspired by dreams, colour and hope. The designs are made to keep both your head and your thoughts warm – with soft materials, strong colours and a playful look. These are garments that remind you to dream big, create freely and never give up. The beanie series grew out of the collection CosyMonday designed for Odd Molly.

Above it you knit mock cables in a four-round repeat, seven cables in total, before the top is decreased evenly.
