Colorwork can seem intimidating, especially your first time. To be completely honest, I am sort of a beginner colorwork knitter myself so I know the feeling first hand! I have found that a great first colorwork project is a hat. You can work in the round on double pointed or circular needles and knit with two hands. I know, I know... it sounds complicated, but I promise it is not! Try today's beautiful free hat pattern, Mira, and follow along with the how-to video below, where I demonstrate knitting stranded color work with two hands.
Worked in the round from the bottom up, Mira is a beautiful stranded colorwork hat with an optional pom-pom on top.
