YARN:
For the Taupe Beanie, we recommend using Pascuali „Babyalpaca Los Andes”, which is a luxurious blend made from 100% Alpaca fibers. You will need 2 skeins, each providing 109.0 yards (100.0m) of warmth in the elegant color SFN61 taupe. For the Blue Beanie, opt for Artesano “Aran,” a delightful yarn comprised of 50% Alpaca and 50% Wool. One skein, yielding 144.0 yards (131.7m), in the vibrant color Bluefin will suffice.
NEEDLES:
For this project, you will need 5mm (80cm) circular needles for the magic loop method or double-pointed needles (DPN) if you prefer. Additionally, a size 5.5mm (80cm circular or DPN) needle will also be required to achieve the perfect tension.
NOTIONS:
Don’t forget your knitting essentials! You’ll need 1 stitch marker to help keep track of your rows and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches.
GAUGE:
The gauge for the “Bow”tiful Beanie is 18 stitches x 21 rows = 4” x 4” (10 x 10cm) in a textured stitch pattern. It’s crucial to check your gauge before you start knitting! Different knitters may obtain different tension, even when using the same yarn and needle sizes. Invest time in finding the right combination to ensure your finished beanie fits perfectly and brings you joy.
