The pattern to the awesome Diversnight beanie is designed by no other than Diversnight founder Tone Svee Dahl herself.
She runs Tove Sveen Design and says the beanie is not hard to knit.
– I recommend using no. 4.0 needles (22m/10cm) and 3.5 for the rib. I used a yarn called «Storm Alpaca» from Viking, which is 266 meters per 100 grams, Tone Svee Dahl says.
The Diversnight beanie has a cool diver design with twin tanks and fish all the way around. If you use proper yarn it's also very cozy and warm!
The beanie is two-tone and you can choose what colors to combine. Tone made them in blue/black and pink/black as you see below in this post.
Using needle 3.5mm and your preferred color
Cast on 100 (112) 120 (128) 140 sts
Make rib, *k2, p2*
Repeat *-* all sts on needle.
Make rib all rounds until
the rib measures approx. 4 (4) 4 (5) 5 cm
Change to needle size 4.0mm, use the color of yarn you chose as your main color.
K all sts and make 0 (8) 0 (12) 0 new sts.
K pattern repeat 5 (6) 6 (7) 7 times each round.
After finishing pattern;
k 3 (3) 4 (4) 4 rounds using the color you started using after rib.
*k1, k2tog, k5, ssk, k1, k2tog, k5, ssk*

*k2tog*, repeat *-* 1 round
– When you're done fasten off and thread the yarn through all the stitches and fasten all loose ends. For an extra nice result place the beanie under a damp towel for a while, Tone says.
If you don't have a clue what the above means, it's evident you don't know how to knit. Then you'll have to ask someone who understands the secret codes.
If you get started soon you'll have time to knit the beanie before Diversnight on November 2nd!
