Forest Ave
Introducing the Forest Ave Beanie, a super cute and quick knitting project that is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This delightful beanie is a collaborative design with Colleen from Little Lionhead Knits, ensuring a blend of creativity and style in every stitch.
The Forest Ave Beanie is crafted using the beautiful two-color brioche technique, worked from the bottom up. The design features a simple yet captivating repeating pattern at the beginning, followed by elegant criss-crossing decreases that shape the crown of the hat. This clever construction not only adds visual depth but also makes for an engaging knitting experience.
When completed, this stunning beanie has a finished circumference of 18 inches (46 cm) when unstretched, making it intended to comfortably fit head circumferences ranging from 20 to 22 inches (51-56 cm). With a height of approximately 8.5 to 9 inches (21.5-23 cm), it is the ideal accessory to keep your head warm while adding a stylish touch to your winter wardrobe.
