Duet Beanie

While soloists bring charm, nothing quite compares to the rich harmonies and lush layering found in a perfectly matched knitting duet. This beanie pattern is an ideal stashbuster project, making the most of two or three colors for a soft, slouchy, and cozy beanie that’s perfect for wearing or gifting. Whether you’re a knitting novice or an experienced crafter, you'll love how this project allows you to combine your favorite yarn colors into a beautifully textured accessory that works for all occasions.

For the three-color option, you will need approximately 40 yards of your first color, 120 yards of your second color, and 80 yards of your third color. Alternatively, if you prefer a two-color design, you will need around 160 yards of your main color and 80 yards of your contrasting color. The sample showcased uses a luxurious blend of 10ply merino silk in three beautiful shades: dark grey, silver, and mauve, ensuring a stunning final product that you'll be proud to wear or gift.

To create this stylish beanie, you will require circular knitting needles in sizes 4.5mm, 5.5mm, and 7mm with a 40cm cable for the main body, plus a longer cable or DPNs in 7mm for finishing the crown. The finished beanie measures approximately 21cm laid flat at the brim and 21cm in height, making it a comfortable fit for most adult heads. Dive into this delightful knitted project and experience the joy of working in harmony with colors to create a cozy accessory that’s perfect for chilly days!
