Entrelac Hat

Learn how to create a stylish and cozy beanie hat using an eye-catching stocking stitch entrelac pattern worked in the round. This delightful project features small diamonds worked on the bias, with each diamond picked up from the side of the one below, adding a unique texture and visual interest to your hat.

This versatile pattern is designed to fit a range of sizes, from adorable babies to adults, making it a perfect choice for gifts or personal wear. You can easily choose from six different sizes to ensure the perfect fit for every head. The pattern accommodates both double pointed needles and circular needles, so you can select your preferred knitting method.

For this beanie, we recommend using Noro 10 ply yarn, such as Silk Garden or Kureyon, which comes in 50-gram skeins with a length of 100 meters. However, the pattern is flexible, allowing you to use any similar thickness yarn to achieve stunning results. Our sample projects also include a variety of yarns to showcase the beautiful results possible with different fiber options.

In addition to the beanie pattern, you will find a comprehensive photo tutorial illustrating the technique of "knitting backwards." This handy method enables you to work purl side stitches on the knit side, which can save you time by eliminating the need to turn your work frequently.

Whether you’re making this beanie for yourself, a loved one, or as a market product, this entrelac beanie pattern is not only a rewarding knitting experience but also a beautiful addition to any winter wardrobe. Be warned: once you discover the joy of entrelac, you may find it to be an addictive technique you'll want to use in many other knitting projects!
