Shimna Beanie

The River Shimna, known for its stunning journey through the Mourne Mountains, gracefully meanders through the picturesque Tullymore Forest before finally reaching the Irish Sea in the charming town of Newcastle. Its natural beauty made a lasting impression on me during my school days when I studied this river as part of a geography field trip for my exams. The flowing cables on this hand-knit hat evoked images of the river's gentle currents, while the moss stitch pattern reminded me of the stony riverbed that lies beneath the tranquil waters.

Introducing the Shimna Beanie, a delightful and cozy cable hat perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. This pattern features a seamless knit-in-the-round design, highlighted by a deep alternating moss stitch ribbing that provides both texture and warmth. The elegant cables gracefully decrease toward the crown of the hat, offering a refined and stylish finish. With options available for both a fitted beanie and a trendy slouchy style, this versatile pattern caters to your personal style and preference.

Whether you're looking to stay warm during chilly days or searching for the perfect handmade gift, the Shimna Beanie is sure to be a cherished addition to your winter wardrobe.
