Harrison's Beanie

This stylish beanie is expertly knit from the bottom up in the round, making it a perfect project for those looking to enhance their knitting skills. The brim features a classic stockinette stitch (st st) that creates a chic rolled effect, providing both comfort and style. Following the brim, a simple yet elegant 18-stitch, 7-row cable pattern repeat adorns the body of the beanie, allowing for a beautiful texture that will keep you warm during chilly days. You can continue this cable pattern until the desired length is reached for your ideal fit.

As you near completion, decreases are skillfully executed for the crown, followed by a stem knit in stockinette stitch before neatly closing it off. This well-structured pattern is designed to be worked with DK yarn, achieving a gauge of 13 stitches and 17 rows = 5cm / 2 in squared in the cable pattern after blocking. It's crucial to note that while achieving correct stitch gauge is essential, the row count is less critical, as the instructions specify the length you need to knit for the perfect beanie.

The yarn requirements listed below are calculated based on yarn with a standard yardage of 120 meters (132 yards) per 50g ball. To complete this beanie, you will need 2 (2, 3) balls of yarn, translating to approximately 190 (236, 294) meters or 208 (258, 322) yards. If your chosen yarn has a lower yardage, be sure to purchase additional balls to ensure you have enough material to finish your project.
