Merriment

Introducing Merriment, a delightful slouchy beanie knitted to capture the essence of a breezy day by the seaside! Imagine the refreshing scent of the ocean, the soft touch of sand between your toes, the wind playfully tangling your hair, and a day filled with laughter and joy. Inspired by this carefree spirit, Merriment is the perfect knitting project for anyone looking to add a touch of whimsy to their accessory collection.

This charming beanie is not only a fun and creative knitting project but also compact and easy to carry, making it ideal for on-the-go crafting. With less than a skein of fingering weight yarn, you can easily create this beautiful piece without any hassle. To elevate your design, feel free to incorporate a dash of glitter yarn for an extra sparkle that captures the magic of a sunny day by the sea!

Merriment features an array of textured stitch patterns, including simple lace and seed stitch, which contribute to its light and airy design. The clever arrangement of stitches creates delicate columns, while one lace column introduces a playful twist to the beanie, making it the perfect accessory for those seeking a unique and whimsical look.

*You will need approximately 400 meters (437 yards) of fingering weight yarn to complete this delightful hat. The Size S sample (in a stunning turquoise shade) was knit using Lanitium ex Machina Glitter Sock in Blue Dasher, while the Size L sample (in a vibrant green) was crafted from iKKe Yarns Glitter Sock in a one-of-a-kind colorway. An alternative yarn is suggested below for your convenience.*
