Easy &Speedy Layered Yarn Beanie [knitting pattern]


Layered Yarn Beanie [knitting pattern]

Recently my friend's mother generously gave me a giant bag of yarn she 
wasn't going to use. Included inside were a few balls of butterfly yarn.
 At first I wasn't sure what to do with it- it wasn't nearly substantial 
enough for a scarf or hat. I decided to layer it over some heavy yarn 
and make this fast (around 2 hours) and easy ribbed beanie.

Size US 13 knitting needles
Yarn- Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick  (1 Skein) 

Butterfly yarn (similar) (1 ball- 150 yards is plenty)
Pattern-
Work both yarns at the same time 
Cast on 48 stitches
Rows 1-26: Work 26 rows in k2, p2 Rib.
Row 27 (Dec Row): *K2, p2, k2, p2tog; rep from * across row
