This stylish Swallows Beanie is expertly knitted from the bottom up in a circular pattern, making it a perfect project for knitters of various skill levels. We begin with a cozy ribbed brim, then switch to larger needles to continue knitting seamlessly in the round while following the detailed chart provided. To finish, we incorporate decreases that ensure a snug fit, making this hat both functional and fashionable.

Yarn Requirements: For this project, you will need 1 skein of Color A and 1 skein of Color B, both made from Hobbii's Woody Tweed yarn, which is composed of 70% Recycled Wool and 30% Recycled Viscose. Choose Color A in shade 08 and Color B in shade 16 to create a beautiful contrast that showcases your craftsmanship.

GAUGE: Achieve the correct gauge for this beanie by ensuring you knit 20 stitches and 30 rows, measuring 10 x 10 cm (4 inches) in stockinette stitch and in the round using 4 mm (US 6) needles. Remember to wash and block your swatch, as the gauge may change after this process, which is essential for a perfectly fitting beanie.

NEEDLES: To knit the Swallows Beanie, you'll need a pair of circular needles in two sizes: 3.5 mm and 4 mm (US 5 and US 6). Alternatively, use the needle size that allows you to obtain the correct gauge to ensure the best fit.
