I ? L.A.
Experience the enchanting beauty of a rare Los Angeles snowfall where palm trees, suburban landscapes, towering skyscrapers, and majestic snow-capped mountains merge into a breathtaking scene! Celebrate this unique wonder with our exquisite knitted beanie pattern that embodies this magical blend. This beanie features a trendy slouch and is designed to be worked from the bottom up, crafted seamlessly in the round using the traditional Fair-Isle knitting technique, perfect for adding a touch of artistry to your winter wardrobe.
Yarn: For this delightful project, we recommend using 2 Ply Jumper Weight by Jamieson & Smith Fingering, which is made from 100% Shetland wool. Each skein offers a generous 125 yards (115 meters) per 25 grams. Approximate yarn amounts: Main Color (MC) - 33g; 165 yards (152 meters); Contrast Color 1 (CC1) - 9g; 45 yards (42 meters); Contrast Color 2 (CC2) - 4g; 20 yards (19 meters). This combination of colors will create a stunning visual in your finished beanie!
Needles: To knit this stylish beanie, you will need a set of 2.75mm (US No 2) circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs) and a set of 3.25mm (US No 3) circular needles, preferably 16 inches (41cm) in length and 6 inches (15cm) for the DPNs. As many knitters experience different gauges between stranded and one-color knitting, be prepared to switch needle sizes as necessary to maintain a consistent gauge throughout your project.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 32 stitches x 32 rows = 4 inches (10cm), measured over stranded stockinette on the larger needles. This gauge ensures that your beanie will have the right amount of stretch and drape for comfort and style.
Approximate Finished Size: This beanie is crafted to fit most head sizes, accommodating a circumference of 21-25 inches (53cm-63.5 cm). It makes a wonderful gift for friends and family alike or a delightful accessory for your winter outings!
Additional Tools: Don’t forget essential tools like a needle to weave in ends and a stitch marker to help you keep track of your pattern. With its beautiful design and cozy warmth, this knitted beanie will surely become a favorite in your collection as you embrace the wonders of winter.
