Notturno

Notturno (meaning Nocturnal in Italian) is a beautiful and creative knitting pattern inspired by the masterful Nocturnes of Chopin. This stunning beanie is designed to be knitted in the round on both circular and double-pointed needles, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of various skill levels.

The completed hat measures approximately 21 cm (8 ¼ inches) in height, fitting snugly for head sizes ranging from 56 to 60 cm. Its elastic and generous design ensures comfort and warmth, making it an ideal accessory for chilly evenings or as a thoughtful handcrafted gift for loved ones.

Materials Needed:

• Yarn: Use four balls of De Rerum Natura Pénélope yarn in four different colors, or any DK weight yarn that provides around 220 m (240 yards). For this pattern, allocate one ball for the main color and approximately one-sixth of a ball for each of the contrasting colors.
• Circular Needles: Size 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm, with a length of 40 cm (24 inches).
• Double Pointed Needles: Size 4.5 mm.

This exquisite knitting pattern features both written and charted instructions, making it accessible even for beginners eager to expand their skills. It comes in one size only, thanks to its elastic design that accommodates various head sizes comfortably.
