Sandworm's Journey Beanie

This stunning beanie pattern features intricate cables that evoke the swirling motion of a sandstorm, perfectly complemented by the vibrant orange yarn reminiscent of Frank Herbert’s iconic Dune series. Whether you’re a sci-fi fan or simply love unique knitting projects, this beanie is an excellent choice for your next crafting adventure.

Materials: To create this eye-catching beanie, you will need 1 skein of Malabrigo Rios yarn (3.5 oz/100 g/210 yds/192 m) in color 16 Glazed Carrot, or you can substitute with approximately 180 yds (165 m) of smooth, medium-weight yarn that captures that sandy hue.

For knitting, you will require US-8 (5 mm) knitting needles. You can use either 40”/100 cm circular needles for the magic loop method or 5 double-pointed needles, depending on what you prefer. Be sure to use the needle size that helps you achieve the correct gauge for the best results.

Additionally, you will need a cable needle, a stitch marker, and a yarn needle to complete your project smoothly.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 24 stitches and 24 rows per 4” (10 cm) in pattern. It’s important to check your gauge before starting to ensure the beanie fits perfectly and showcases your beautiful knitting skills.
