Dover Beanie

The Dover Beanie is a beautifully crafted accessory featuring a simple yet elegant cable and lace pattern, specifically designed to be knitted in the round. This delightful beanie is perfect for knitters of all levels looking to create a stylish and cozy piece of headwear.

Available Sizes: Small, Medium, and Large - suitable for head circumferences of 49 cm, 53 cm, and 58 cm respectively.

Materials Required: For this pattern, you will need Touch Yarns 4ply/fingering yarn made from 100% Merino wool. We recommend using shade #422, with an approximate requirement of 225 meters per 50 grams. You will need:

• 1 x 50g for Small
• 1 x 50g for Medium
• 1 x 50g for Large

This pattern requires one 40cm circular needle in 2.75mm size and one in 3.25mm size, as well as a set of three 3.25mm double-pointed needles. You will also need a cable needle, a stitch marker, and a wool needle for finishing. Note: Using a different yarn than the suggested Merino may yield unsatisfactory results, so we highly recommend sticking to the specified materials for the best outcome.

Tension (Gauge): The gauge for this pattern is crucial for ensuring a perfect fit. When blocked, one 16-stitch cable and lace pattern measures approximately 6cm on 3.25mm needles.

Abbreviations Used in this Pattern: To assist you in following the pattern, here are some common abbreviations: Alt - alternate, approx - approximately, C4B - slip the next 2 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back of your work, knit the next 2 stitches off the left-hand needle before knitting the 2 stitches off the cable needle, and C4F - slip the next 2 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the front of your work.
