There’s someone in every knitter’s
life who likes their clothes plain and simple but is pretty fussy about what
exactly that means. We’re fairly confident that they'll like Ysolda's
Opari, a neat brioche rib beanie. Keep things simple with tonal neutrals, or add
a bright color contrast subdued with a neutral main. The contrast color
shown is a barber-pole yarn with one ply that matches the main color and
one darker one. This is an interesting subtle way to tone down contrasting
colors.
