Medallion Beanie

This unique pattern is part of the Twistorama collection, which features a diverse array of 61/2 cable pattern designs. Create complementary accessories for you and your partner with our special Medallion Duet combo, which includes both a his (beanie) and her (tam) version of the pattern.

If you're on the lookout for an engaging knitting challenge that incorporates beautiful cable and twisted stitches, this is the perfect project for you! The beanie band is skillfully worked sideways using a limited number of stitches over a twisted rib base, providing a satisfying challenge with the end goal clearly in view.

For finishing, you have the option to either sew the band ends together traditionally or use a provisional cast-on technique. The latter allows you to employ the 3-needle bind-off method for a seamless join at the ends, resulting in a polished finish.

Additionally, the band itself is versatile enough to serve as a stylish headband on its own, being the appealing 1/2 pattern in the collection. You'll find that it’s an excellent addition to your accessory repertoire.

The cap of the beanie is crafted by picking up stitches and working in a twisted rib pattern in the round, enhancing both texture and style. To assist you in this process, we've included a comprehensive photo tutorial that demonstrates how to pick up 2 stitches per chain selvage stitch instead of the standard single stitch, a handy technique that you can apply to various knitting projects in the future.

This pattern is showcased in the gorgeous shade of #606 Frost Gray, making it a chic and versatile choice for any knitwear collection. Get started on your Twistorama knitting adventure today and master the art of cables and twisted stitches!
