Southern Comfort Set

The Southern Comfy beanie draws inspiration from timeless stories of freedom, particularly those associated with the inspiring “Underground Railroad.” This captivating design features a distinctive railroad-style texture pattern, artfully crafted to highlight its rich backstory. Additionally, the patchwork included in the Southern Comfort beanie pays homage to the exquisite quilts made by the Amish, which are cherished as masterpieces of artistry in the fabric world.

These beanies are made using DK weight yarn and are knitted on US size 5 (3.75 mm) needles in a 16” circular format, along with a set of double-pointed needles (DPNs). After completing both styles of these fashionable beanies, all you’ll need is a darning needle to finish them off beautifully. The gauge for this knitting pattern is 22 stitches per 4 inches (or 10 cm), making it easy to personalize these two unique beanie designs.

If you're considering experimenting with different yarn weights, keep in mind that you will need to adjust your needle size accordingly. For heavier yarns, opt for a size larger in the needle, and for lighter yarns, you might scale down one or two sizes. This information is particularly relevant for the Southern Comfy beanie, ensuring you achieve the perfect fit and style. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern promises an enjoyable knitting experience that marries creativity with tradition.
