Barbarian Hat

Introducing the perfect knitting pattern for your winter wardrobe: the Barbarian Beanie. Based on the popular Barbarian Cowl, this beanie is crafted with delightfully squishy textured cables, offering both warmth and style. It’s designed to be simple, fun, and quick to knit, making it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels. You’ll need approximately 160 yards of DK or 10-ply merino wool for the standard height version, and about 180 yards for the taller slouchy option. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or looking for thoughtful gifts, this classic unisex design is sure to please and will never go out of fashion.

For the shorter option, an 8-ply yarn is recommended, while the taller version calls for a 10-ply. To create this cozy beanie, you’ll use 4mm and 5mm circular needles with a 40cm cable, as well as a 20cm set of DPNS or a magic loop technique for the crown. Plus, don’t forget to include a cable needle to hold your stitches as you create the beautiful twisted texture throughout the beanie.

This beanie features a stretchy fit, designed to accommodate most sizes, from teens to large adults. Feel free to change your needle size and yarn weight to customize the fit up or down to your preference. To elevate your beanie even further, top it off with a removable and luxurious faux fur pompom that adds a playful touch. And, for a coordinated look this winter, why not pair your new beanie with the matching Barbarian Cowl, also available in my store?
