Snowball Fight
Introducing a simple classic knitted beanie pattern featuring a snug, neat folded brim and a playful motif that stands out but remains easy to create. This versatile knitted hat is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike looking for a fun project!
This beanie requires DK or light worsted weight yarn in two complementary colours. For the main body of the hat, you’ll need approximately 105 yards, while the contrast colour should be around 45 yards. We recommend using light grey or white for the contrast shade to align with the charming snowball theme. However, feel free to unleash your creativity with a vibrant colour choice to evoke a playful paint splash instead!
Expertly crafted in the round, this pattern employs a provisional cast-on technique, with three different methods provided for your convenience. To work on the brim portion of this beanie, you will need some waste yarn along with a thin needle (smaller than 3.5mm) and a cable. If you would prefer crocheting your waste yarn cast-on, a crochet hook sized between 3.5mm and 4mm will be necessary.
The finished size of this fashionable beanie, measured flat and unstretched after blocking, is approximately 10.5 inches wide at the brim edge and 7.5 inches high. This makes it a perfect fit for most adult heads, ensuring both comfort and style. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this beanie pattern is sure to delight!
