Swirl Beanie
About this slouchy beanie knitting pattern: This stylish slouchy beanie features a unique swirl top that allows for a convenient opening to pull through a ponytail, making it the perfect accessory for those with long hair, braids, or dreadlocks. Not only is it a fun and fashionable piece to knit, but it’s also remarkably easy to create, resulting in a cozy hat that stands out with its distinctive design.
The construction of the hat is knit flat, and it has no negative ease, ensuring a comfortable fit for a wide variety of head sizes. The beanie is perfect for all seasons, offering warmth during chilly days while keeping your hair stylishly pulled back.
Gauge Information: To achieve the desired look and fit, you’ll need to knit at a gauge of 19 stitches in 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Please note that row gauge is not crucial for this particular pattern, allowing for some flexibility in your knitting.
Materials Needed: This slouchy beanie can be made with worsted yarn, requiring up to 150 grams for the smallest size and up to 350 grams for the largest size. You’ll also need knitting needles that correspond to your gauge, a darning needle for finishing, and pins or clips (I personally prefer using clips for better grip during assembly).
