Maleme Beanie

The Maleme cabled beanie features exquisite and delicate cable patterns that add both style and warmth. This versatile beanie is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, and its size can be easily modified based on your gauge. For complete details on sizing and materials, see below.

**Sizing Details:** The Maleme cabled beanie is available in three sizes: S (M, L). The finished measurements correspond to a head circumference of approximately 21 (22, 24) inches / 54-56 cm (56-58, 60-62 cm). All sizes of the beanie are knitted with the same number of stitches, so you can easily choose the gauge that aligns with your desired size.

**Gauge:** To achieve the perfect fit for your Maleme cabled beanie, use the following gauge: Size S requires 26 stitches and 28 rows to equal 4 inches/10 cm using larger (US 6/4 mm) needles. For Size M, aim for 24 stitches and 26 rows per 4 inches/10 cm with US 6/4 mm needles. Size L necessitates 20 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches/10 cm, knitted with US 7/4.5 mm needles.

**Yarn Requirements:** For your Maleme beanie, the yarn selection changes based on size. Size S requires Sport Weight Yarn, while Size M calls for DK-weight Yarn. A fabulous sample yarn option is Knitlob’s Lair Pohjan Neito (100% Superwash Merino), providing 200 meters / 220 yards per 100 grams. The sample beanie was created in the elegant colorway "Platina." If you’re working on Size L, opt for a Worsted Weight Yarn for optimal results. Note that approximately 0.85 skeins are needed for Size L.

Whether you're making this delightful hat as a gift or for yourself, the Maleme cabled beanie is a stunning project that combines rich texture with warmth, making it a must-have accessory for any knitwear collection.
