Countryside beanie
This charming countryside beanie pattern is perfect for those who adore the tranquility of farm life. Featuring a delightful two-color design, this cute beanie is an excellent choice for stranded knitting beginners, as it employs just two colors throughout the entire project, ensuring ease and elegance in your knitting journey.
The design begins with a two-color ribbing, transitioning into an enchanting border pattern that symbolizes picturesque farmhouses and lush trees. Following this delightful motif, you’ll find a whimsical depiction of a farmer and his wife in a playful paper doll style, adding character and charm to your beanie. The design continues with a lovely wave-border adorned with geese and ducks, enhancing the rural theme. At the crown of the beanie, you’ll discover an eye-catching fence, elegantly topped with seven proud cocks and a quaint additional fence, bringing the entire design together beautifully!
I knitted this beanie using 4-ply sock yarn, but you can also opt for Acrylic or Merino yarn of a similar weight for your project. If you're knitting for larger heads, consider going up one or two needle sizes and/or using 5-ply yarn to ensure a comfortable fit.
You will need approximately 35 grams of each color, making this project perfect for utilizing sock yarn leftovers lying around in your stash.
