**Aprilis Beanie Knitting Pattern: Embrace Spring with Style**
The Aprilis beanie was inspired by the enchanting night of the Pink Super Moon on April 5, 2020. The name "Aprilis," derived from Latin, perfectly captures the essence of April and signifies the vibrant spirit of spring in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Crafted from DK weight yarn, the Aprilis beanie serves as an ideal lightweight accessory, effortlessly elevating any spring outfit while keeping you cozy.
This hat features the unique Estonian cast-on method, which not only provides a beautifully decorative edge but also ensures a stretchy fit for maximum comfort. With a gauge of approximately 5 stitches per inch using US size 6 needles in stockinette, the ribbing offers a forgiving nature, making this pattern suitable for knitters of varying skill levels.
**Size Options**: The Aprilis beanie is designed to fit both teens and adults with a head circumference ranging from 20 to 23 inches, making it a versatile choice for your entire family or as a lovely gift for friends.
**Yarn Recommendations**: This pattern requires just one skein of Cedar House Yearling DK, showcased in the beautiful Sunstone colorway, or one skein of MadTosh DK, highlighted in the vibrant Hollyhock shade. Both yarn options promise to deliver a soft and stylish finish that you'll love to wear.
**Essential Notions**: To create your stunning Aprilis beanie, you'll need to gather a few essential knitting supplies:
- Circular needles in sizes US 4 and 6.
- Double Pointed Needles in size US 6 (if preferred for seamless finishing).
- A darning needle for weaving in those ends.
