Materials Needed: To create the Elliot 2x2 Rib Beanie, you will need approximately 35 grams of light fingering weight yarn, which is equivalent to 245 meters (268 yards). The yarn should be 100% wool (50g/350m/383 yards) for optimal warmth and comfort.

Suggested Needles: For this project, use US size 1 (2.25mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs). Alternatively, if you prefer the magic loop method, a 100cm circular needle will work perfectly for knitting in the round.

Gauge Information: Achieve a precise gauge of 45 stitches and 50 rows per 10 centimeters (4 inches) in the 2x2 rib stitch when using US size 1 (2.25mm) needles, before blocking. Ensuring that you meet this gauge is crucial to the fit and finish of your beanie.

Essential Notions: Don’t forget to gather your necessary notions, including a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds and a tapestry needle for weaving in any loose ends after completing the hat.

This beautifully designed Elliot 2x2 Rib Beanie not only promises warmth but also style, making it a must-have in your winter accessory collection.
