Prafulla beanie

Prafulla, a term derived from Sanskrit, beautifully represents the idea of blooming and delight, much like a vibrant flower that brings joy to its surroundings. Perfectly embodying this essence, our Prafulla stranded colorwork beanie is designed to brighten up even the dullest of environments.

This stunning beanie features intricate stranded colorwork and is crafted using fingering weight yarn in two delightful colors. To ensure a perfect fit, you have the flexibility to adjust your needle size between 2.5mm or 3mm. Whether you prefer a snug fit or a more relaxed style, this beanie accommodates all preferences.

The recommended gauge for achieving the best results in stranded stockinette is 34 stitches and 36 rows within a 4" square. With this precise gauge in mind, your Prafulla beanie will maintain its beautiful structure and fitting design.

For this project, we suggest using Knit Picks Palette yarn: 97 meters (106 yards) in the lovely shade of Mauve, complemented by 85 meters (92 yards) in classic White. Together, these colors create a striking contrast that truly embodies the blooming spirit of the Prafulla.

This pattern is suited for knitters with a solid understanding of stranded work and the ability to read charts effectively. Enhance your skills with unique techniques such as CDD (Central Double Decrease) and M1 (Make 1), which contribute to the beanie's intricate design.

Whether you are knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Prafulla beanie is an excellent choice that combines beauty and practicality. Dive into this creative project and let your knitting bloom just like the beautiful flower that inspires it!
