Knitting Pattern men's beanie hat UK & USA Terms #420

**Yarn Requirements:** For this knitting pattern, you will need 75g (or 3oz) of yarn. This pattern is designed for UK Aran, USA Worsted (4), or AU 12ply yarn, providing you with versatile options to choose from.

**Needle Specifications:** To successfully complete this project, you will need a couple of different sizes of circular needles: a 40cm/16” circular needle in 3.75mm/5 and another 40cm/16” circular needle in 4mm/6. Additionally, have a set of four double-pointed needles in 4mm/6 for those minor details, and don’t forget a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round. A simple piece of knotted thread can work effectively as a stitch marker.

**Tension/Gauge:** It’s crucial to achieve the correct gauge for your knitting to ensure your finished item has the perfect fit and drape. Using the recommended yarn along with 4mm/6 needles, strive for a tension of 10 stitches x 14 rows over stockinette stitch (st st), which should measure 2 inches (5cm). This gauge will help you maintain consistency throughout your project.

This detailed knitting pattern will guide you through the process, ensuring that even beginners can follow along with ease. Enjoy the process of creating your lovely knitted piece!
