Dashing - The Beanie
Introducing the Dashing Pattern—a fantastic and stylish knit that is perfect for using up your fabric scraps or showcasing your favorite team colors! With endless creative possibilities at your fingertips, you can craft unique pieces that everyone in the family will love.
This pattern utilizes the elegant mosaic knitting technique, specifically a slip stitch method, which gives the project a beautiful double-layered finish, making it incredibly warm and cozy for chilly days. It's an ideal pattern for winter accessories!
Why not make one for every family member? The Dashing Pattern invites you to get creative with your yarn choices, making it an excellent project for knitters looking to mix and match colors from their stash. The worsted weight yarn requirements are as follows: for the Main Color (MC), you will need 150-200 yards, and for the Contrast Color (CC), only about 50 yards. Feel free to use multiple contrast colors—this stash-busting project allows you to get creative while ensuring that you use less yardage of each individual color!
For knitting needles, we recommend using US size 7 (4.5mm) needles. You can choose from double-pointed needles (dpns), or use circular needles for the magic loop technique or two circulars for easy knitting. No matter your preferred method, this pattern accommodates your style!
To achieve the perfect fit, ensure your gauge is 5 stitches per inch in the stitch pattern, unblocked. The Dashing Pattern comes in a variety of sizes to cater to everyone in your family: Small (16-18 inches), Medium (17-19 inches), Large (19-22 inches), and XLarge (22-24 inches). Whether you're knitting for kids or adults, this pattern has you covered!
