Hibernia Beanie

Hibernia, the ancient name bestowed by the Romans upon the island of Ireland, evokes images of winter landscapes and rich cultural lore. Inspired by this heritage, the Hibernia Quartet presents a captivating collection of four DK-weight accessories, each intricately designed with interlocking cables and lush moss stitch patterns that tell a story of ancient craftsmanship.

Hibernia Beanie is a beautifully crafted accessory that is worked from the bottom up, starting at the ribbed brim and culminating in a stylish crown. This versatile beanie can be styled in two fashionable ways: wear it as a classic watch cap with the long ribbing folded up along a hidden line for a polished look, or let it slouch by turning down the brim for a relaxed vibe. The comfortable hat is available in two sizes and can be completed with an optional fluffy pom pom on top for an extra touch of whimsy.

This thoughtfully designed pattern includes both metric and US terminology, catering to knitters across the globe. Clear and concise written instructions, along with detailed charted instructions for all cable patterns, ensure that both beginner and experienced knitters can easily master this beautiful beanie.

Gauge is essential for achieving the perfect fit: aim for 21 stitches × 32 rows = 10 cm / 4" in the cable pattern when using larger needles and blocking your work.
