This easy-to-follow knitting pattern for a charming beanie is perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters looking for a quick project or a thoughtful handmade gift. Named after the serene street I grew up on in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, this beanie holds a special place in my heart. It evokes fond memories of my childhood home, where I spent 20 wonderful years surrounded by loved ones. The beanie's colors beautifully mimic the vibrant hues of the local Gum Trees and the joyful Kookaburras that echoed laughter near our house.

Designed for versatility, this beanie can be worked in the round, making it a delightful project to complete in just a few sittings. Achieve a perfect fit with a tension of 20 stitches and 25 rows to 10 cm over stocking stitch, ensuring your creation is both comfortable and stylish.

For this pattern, you will need 1 ball of Rowan Pure Wool Superwash Worsted (200m/100g). For the first size, use shade 112 Moonstone; for the second size, opt for shade 190 Raisin. You'll also need 4mm and 4.5mm long circular needles for the Magic Loop technique or 4mm and 4.5mm double-pointed needles (dpns) if you prefer. This beanie is an easy yet fulfilling project that can be completed in a weekend, making it an ideal choice for holiday gifting or personal indulgence.

Whether you're working on this design for yourself or as a heartfelt present for a loved one, this beanie captures the spirit of home and the warmth of cherished memories. Dive into your knitting adventure today and bring a piece of Australia to your wardrobe!
