Wicker
Experience an abundance of squish with our luxurious Wicker Beanie knitting pattern! The unique stitch creates a double-thick fabric, making this beanie not only warm and comfortable but also lightweight and airy thanks to its innovative structure. When knitting the Wicker Beanie, we recommend using semi-solid or lightly speckled yarns, which enhance the pattern beautifully. Additionally, gradient yarns can complement the design wonderfully, adding a touch of elegance to your finished piece.
This pattern employs a cable stitch technique, and for your convenience, we’ve included a detailed tutorial that demonstrates how to knit this cable stitch without using a separate cable needle. This time-saving method is perfect for those looking to streamline their knitting process.
The Wicker Beanie uses approximately 150 yards of DK (8ply) merino or wool yarn. To complete this project, you will need a 3.5mm and a 5mm needle on 40cm cables. For those who prefer working in magic loop style, a longer cable will suffice; alternatively, you can use 5mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) for the crown section. A cable needle is optional, depending on your preferred knitting technique.
Designed to fit most teenagers and adults comfortably, this beanie boasts impressive stretch. If you're looking for a larger beanie, consider using 10ply worsted weight yarn and increase your needle sizes by half a size for both the brim and pattern. In some cases, you might want to work one extra pattern repeat to ensure sufficient height for a perfect fit.
This beanie is not just a standalone accessory; it beautifully pairs with the matching Wickerwork Cowl. With just two 100g skeins of DK yarn, you'll have ample material to create both stunning pieces. We recommend starting with the hat since the yardage is predetermined, and then you can use the remaining yarn for the cowl.
Embrace the art of knitting with our Wicker Beanie pattern, and elevate your winter wardrobe with this chic and cozy accessory. Enjoy the satisfaction of crafting a stylish beanie that you can wear or gift to loved ones!
