Serpens Beanie

Create a stunning and cozy beanie with this charming two-color stranded colorwork pattern! This versatile design features 8 rows, with 2-4 repeats depending on the size you choose for your beanie.

The beanie showcases a beautiful twisted rib construction, adding an elegant touch to the overall look while ensuring a snug fit. It’s perfect for various head sizes, as it accommodates a head circumference of 18-20” (45.5-51 cm) for small, 21-22” (53.5-56 cm) for medium, and 23-24” (58.5-61 cm) for large sizes.

**FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** The brim circumference measures 17” (42.5 cm) for small, 18” (46 cm) for medium, and 20” (50 cm) for large, both blocked and unstretched. The length from the base of the brim to the top center of the crown is 7.5” (19 cm) for small, 8.5” (21 cm) for medium, and 9” (23 cm) for large, ensuring a stylish and warm fit for any wearer.

**NEEDLES AND NOTIONS:** For this beanie, you will need US #4 / 3.5MM and US #7 / 5MM needles (or size required to meet gauge). Both 16” circular needles and double-pointed needles (DPNs) are suitable, although if you prefer not to use DPNs, opt for a longer cable to facilitate decreases at the crown. Be sure to have stitch markers on hand—around 17 should suffice—for marking the end of rounds (EOR) and crown decreases.

**YARN AMOUNT:** This beanie pattern is fantastic for using up small amounts of your favorite yarn! You will need approximately 50g of yarn for small, 63g for medium, and 73g for large sizes. This makes it a great choice for enhancing your knitting stash.

This pattern is not just limited to two colors; it’s extremely versatile and can also be adapted for three colors, allowing for endless creative possibilities. Explore the world of stranded colorwork while crafting your own unique beanie that is sure to keep you warm and stylish!
