ABOUT THE PROJECT
Beginner beanie is an easy and fun pattern that you will finish quickly. The pattern is written without abbreviations, with the new knitter in mind. There are video links to all techniques. The beanie is knitted from the bottom up in ribbed knitting. The entire piece is knitted on circular needles 8 mm | US 11.
First, you knit the brim, then the rest of the beanie. Finally you turn the hat inside out and fold the brim up. This is done so the neat side of the cast-on edge faces outward along the brim.
Fit
Size 1 fits a head measurement of 52-58 cm | 20-22 inches
Size 2 fits a head measurement of 59-65 cm | 23-25 inches
You can easily adjust the size by casting on 4 more or 4 fewer stitches (4 stitches correspond to about 4 cm | 1,5 inches). Make adjustments in multiples of 4 stitches so the rib pattern remains consistent.
The ribbed knitting makes the beanie elastic and therefore the finished size is smaller than your head circumference. The beanie will also stretch when used, so keep that in mind when selecting the right size.
Choosing yarn
The beanie is knit using leftover yarn scraps. Consider the length of each yarn piece: the shorter the pieces, the more color changes you'll get. I switch between pieces up to 1 meter and as short as 15 cm | 6 inches





Is your yarn stock low - or does it just need a breath of fresh air? Then buy a Stopgarnspil package from Garnspecialisten, which sells deadstock and surplus yarn that would have been burned if they hadn't saved it.
