Nivalis beret
Introducing the Nivalis pattern, inspired by the enchanting snowdrops—the first joyful signs of spring peeking through the remnants of winter snow. This beautifully crafted design serves as a perfect complement to the Nivalis pullover, making it an ideal choice for knitters looking to utilize leftover yarn and explore a new, exciting colourwork technique.
Materials Needed: For the main color (MC), you will need approximately 140 (140, 160, 160) meters / 153 (153, 175, 175) yards of any fingering or sport weight yarn that matches the desired gauge. For the contrasting color (CC), you will require around 60 (60, 80, 80) meters / 66 (66, 88, 88) yards of the same yarn held double, allowing for a vibrant yet harmonious palette.
Gauge: It’s important to achieve the right gauge for the best results. Aim for 24 stitches and 38 rounds within a 10 cm (4 in) square on 3.0 mm (US 2.5) needles, measured over stockinette stitch worked in the round after blocking. Additionally, for the stranded colourwork with floats on the right side (RS), the gauge should be 23 stitches and 26 rounds in a 10 cm (4 in) square on 3.5 mm (US 4) needles after blocking. This will ensure that your finished piece has the perfect fit and appearance.
Whether you are a beginner looking to develop your skills or an experienced knitter seeking a refreshing challenge, the Nivalis pattern invites you to dive into the art of colourwork while creating a stunning piece that celebrates the beauty of spring.
