Stylish Diana Knit Stockinette Stitch Beanie Pattern

Happy New Year to everyone! Here I am again with a new pattern Stylish Diana beanie knitted with stockinette stitch. If you follow my Instagram account you might have already seen a matching knit mittens on straight needles that I published earlier. I believe this is one of the best knit sets I have ever made. You are right if you think it looks simple, but it is warm, cozy and super soft to wear. It is a perfect set for business ladies who do not like cables and bulky knit accessories and want to stay comfy and elegant during those chilly days.
