Quinby Beanie

Discover the perfect blend of style and comfort with this chic debonair beanie designed for the modern knitter. This stunning accessory features a classic 1x1 rib pattern combined with a subtle cable detail that pops thanks to the use of twisted stitches. Whether you're heading out for a brisk winter walk or just looking to elevate your everyday look, this beanie is the ideal knitting project for you!

This beanie pattern is available in three adult sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Extra Large (XL), ensuring a perfect fit for a variety of head circumferences: 21-23 inches (53.5-58.5 cm), 22-24.5 inches (56-62 cm), and 24-26 inches (61-66 cm). The height of the beanie, when unrolled, measures: 10.5 inches (26.5 cm) for sizes S and M, and 12 inches (30.5 cm) for size XL.

To create this stylish beanie, you will need 1 skein for sizes S and M and 2 skeins for size XL of Cascade Yarns 220, renowned for its high quality (220 yards/200 meters, 100 grams/3.5 ounces, and made from 100% Peruvian Highland Wool). The beanie is beautifully showcased in #9404 Ruby, a rich and vibrant color that adds a touch of elegance. Please note that the largest size (XL) will only require a few additional yards of the second skein, making it a cost-effective and convenient choice for knitters.

You'll need US 7 (4.5 mm) 16”/40 cm circular needles and double-pointed needles to achieve the desired gauge—don’t forget about the cable needle for that beautiful detail! If you find the gauge isn't quite right, you can also use US 6 (4 mm) 16”/40 cm circular needles for the ribbed band.

For optimal results, aim to achieve the gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows over a 4”/10 cm square in stockinette stitch, using the larger needles. With just a few hours of knitting, you’ll have a fashionable and cozy beanie that you can wear proudly or gift to a loved one. Get started today and embrace your knitting journey with this delightful beanie pattern!
