Ariane Cabled Beanie Hat
Discover the perfect cozy accessory for Autumn and Winter with this adorable knitted hat pattern, designed specifically to keep your little ones warm and snug! This hat is knitted flat on two needles using soft double knitting yarn (light worsted) in two charming, contrasting shades. It's an excellent stash-busting project that not only enhances your knitting skills but also allows you to explore a variety of color combinations. This pattern is ideal for utilizing leftover oddments of yarn from larger projects, making it a great choice for eco-conscious knitters.
This delightful pattern is suitable for both baby boys and baby girls—simply select your favorite colors to match any outfit! The pattern provides detailed instructions for creating the hat in four convenient sizes: 0-3 Months, 3-6 Months, 6-12 Months, and 12-18 Months, ensuring that you can create the perfect fit for any little one in your life.
SKILLS REQUIRED: To successfully knit this cute hat, you will need to be familiar with basic knitting techniques, including knitting and purling, increasing and decreasing, as well as using a cable needle for added style. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner ready to challenge yourself, this pattern is designed to enhance your skills.
YARN: For the smallest size, you will require approximately 45g, while the largest size needs around 70g of double knitting (light worsted) weight yarn. I utilized Stylecraft Special DK and James C Brett Baby Shimmer DK for the sample hats, which you can easily find at your local craft store or online.
NEEDLES: The hat is knitted flat using 3.25mm (UK10, US3) and 4mm (UK8, US6) needles, providing a comfortable and manageable knitting experience for crafters of all levels.
TENSION/GAUGE: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 24 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm (4 inches) square in stocking (stockinette) stitch on 4mm (US Size 6) needles. Proper tension is essential for ensuring your project turns out just right!
Bring warmth and style to your baby's wardrobe with this charming knitted hat pattern. Whether for gifting or keeping, it’s the ideal project for the colder months!
