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.

Thanks! I will give it a try.
OMG! This is perfect for my husband for Christmas. Done up in LSU Colors (purple and gold), this is a knitted project I know he will use! Hmmmmm, then, maybe green and yellow for Oregon for my son too?
This beanie looks like so much fun! Will give it a go! Thanks.
