Recommended Needles: To knit this lovely beanie, you’ll require 6.0mm/US #10 needles or the size needed to achieve the correct gauge. You can use a 50cm/20” circular needle and/or double-pointed needles (dpns) or a long circular needle for the magic loop technique. Additionally, for the ribbing section, opt for 4.5mm/US #7 needles (about 3 sizes smaller than the gauge needles). Again, a 50cm/20” circular or dpns or long circular for magic loop will work perfectly.

What You’ll Need: Don’t forget to gather your essentials—stitch markers and a tapestry needle for weaving in those ends, ensuring a polished finish to your charming beanie.

Gauge Information: Achieve a gauge of 15 stitches and 24 rows over 10 cm/4 inches in a beautiful Drop-Stitch pattern worked in the round using 6.0mm/US #10 needles. Remember, it’s important to take the time to save time—always check your gauge before beginning your project. Adjust your needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge for a perfect fit.
