Kylo Beanie
Introducing the ultimate cozy accessory—this stylish beanie is as much fun to knit as it is to wear! With its playful, bold diamond pattern and the option to blend your own color combinations, this hat embodies both creativity and comfort. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or just a little extra warmth, this beanie fits the bill!
The design features a double brim that not only provides extra warmth but also a unique aesthetic. This hat is knitted bottom up, starting with the inside brim, where you’ll dive into colorful techniques. The fun begins as you add dynamic colorwork, turning and joining the double brim seamlessly, and continuing the bold colorwork patterns through the crown of the beanie. It's a project that promises satisfaction at every stage!
**Size Options:** Available in sizes S (M, L), this beanie is designed to fit adult head circumferences of 20 (22, 24)”/51 (56, 61) cm, making it a versatile accessory for anyone. The hat height measures 8.5 (8.5, 9)”/21.5 (21.5, 23) cm, perfect for keeping your ears snug and warm during chilly days.
**Yarn Suggestions:** For this project, use Cascade 220 Merino yarn (available in 220 yards/200 meters, 100g/3.5oz, 100% Merino Wool) for the ultimate cozy texture. You will need 1 skein each of colors A - #18 Olive Green and B - #19 Moss Green (or mix it up with #48 Navy and #11 Gray for a different look!). The possibilities for color combinations are endless, allowing you to personalize your beanie to match your style!
**Needle Requirements:** To ensure the best fit and texture, you will need US 6 (4mm) 16”/40cm circular needles and double point needles, or choose a size that helps you obtain the correct gauge. If you tend to knit color work tightly, consider going up 1-2 needle sizes for a more comfortable knit.
**Gauge Specifications:** To achieve the perfect density for your beanie, the required gauge is 20 stitches and 28 rows, which equals 4”/10cm in stockinette stitch.
