(Snowflake) Basket weave beanie
Discover the beauty of stranded knitting with our delightful "Basket in the Bathroom" pattern! This simple yet charming design, inspired by a cozy basket, is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, especially beginners looking to try their hand at two-color knitting. You can effortlessly create this stunning beanie using any 4-ply sock yarn or acrylic yarn of similar weight. If you're looking to make a larger size, simply opt for 5-ply yarn or add additional pattern repeats for a cozy fit.
As winter brings back the snow, this design features a lovely big snowflake motif, making it the ideal pattern to knit during chilly days. Despite the winter blues, it promises to be a joy to create, and you'll have lots of fun capturing winter scenes with your finished beanie. Plus, a matching cowl pattern will be available soon to complete your winter ensemble!
The innovative two-color cast-on method not only enhances the look of the beanie but also makes it beginner-friendly. Since this pattern utilizes just two colors, it simplifies the stranded knitting process. You'll be relieved to know that the short strands on the back of the work don’t require you to cross them over the working yarn, making it a breeze to knit. The inside of the beanie also presents a beautiful appearance, so why not wear it inside out for a unique twist on your style?
For this project, you’ll need approximately 35 grams of each color, allowing for a delightful color combination that suits your personal taste. Enjoy creating your very own "Basket in the Bathroom" beanie, and don't forget to share your finished masterpiece!
Happy knitting and warm wishes for your winter crafting adventures!
