Designed using sport weight yarn, this beanie offers a lightweight, comfortable, and elastic fabric that’s perfect for chilly days.

Available in three sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L), this beanie boasts a circumference of up to 23 inches (S), 24 inches (M), and 25 inches (L), with a length of 8.25 inches (S) and 8.5 inches (M and L). This versatility ensures a snug and comfortable fit for everyone.

For this beanie, we recommend using Classic Elite Fresco yarn, which is made of 60% wool, 30% baby alpaca, and 10% angora. You’ll need 2 skeins of #5306 Straw (note: only a few yards will be utilized from the second skein) and 1 skein of #5310 Regatta to complete your project. With 164 yards per 50g skein, you'll have plenty of beautiful yarn to work with!

To knit this lovely beanie, you'll need US size 4 (3.5mm) needles, either 16 or 20-inch circulars, along with double-pointed needles for the decreasing section. Be sure to adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the correct gauge, which is 18.5 stitches and 15 rows per 2 inches when relaxed—don’t forget to take the time to check your gauge for the perfect fit!

For the twisted ribbing, the technique for knitting in the round involves the following stitch pattern: K1tbl, p1. For flat knitting, on the right side (RS) use the same as above, while on the wrong side (WS) it’s k1, p1tbl. This rib pattern not only adds visual interest but also enhances the beanie's elasticity.

With this detailed knitting pattern, you'll have all the guidance you need to create a snug and stylish beanie that you can wear or gift to a loved one. Start your knitting journey today and enjoy crafting this beautiful accessory that combines warmth, comfort, and style!
