Yarn Information: This beanie features Quince & Co Lark yarn, made from 100% American wool, with 134 yards (123 meters) per 50 grams. For this pattern, you will need MC #130 Split Pea and CC #128 Snap Pea—just 1 skein of each. Feel free to explore your own yarn stash, as any worsted weight yarn should work beautifully for this project!
Gauge: After blocking, the gauge is 9 stitches x 13 rounds = 2 inches (5 cm) in corrugated ribbing using the smaller needle; and 10 stitches x 11 rounds = 2 inches (5 cm) in the fair isle pattern using the larger needle. Be sure to check your gauge to ensure the best fit for your beanie!
Yarn Amounts: For this beanie, you will need approximately 130 yards of the main color (MC) and around 80 yards of the contrasting color (CC). These amounts are generous, so you likely won’t use all of the yarn from the skeins!
A suggested substitute yarn is provided below, ensuring that you have plenty of options to choose from. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or new to the craft, this fun beanie pattern is a perfect way to practice your colorwork skills and create a stylish accessory. Happy knitting!
