Naga Noda Beanie

Naga Noda is a pattern for a tight fitting beanie, featuring cables and lace. It is worked bottom up.

There are 3 sizes available: Small (144 sts), Medium (162 sts) and Large (180 sts). You’ll need approximately 40 to 50 grams of fingering weight yarn, preferably in a (semi) solid or tonal colourway.
