At the dawning of another election year I feel compelled to share this FREE pattern with the world.

I like my patterns to be fairly adaptable. The pattern is designed for a head circumference of 22-24” or 56-61cm, but if you want the beanie bigger or smaller, just add/take away a few rows/stitches.

Just bear in mind that the chart covers 38 sts by 15 rows.

If you want to change the message, play with the lettering. It’s all yours!

If you have any questions or suggestions, please get in touch.

You need to be able to use the colour stranding technique (using two colours at the same time, running the second yarn along the back). If you are not familiar with this technique, there are different tutorials on the Internet. Remember to cross the colours over at the back to avoid holes appearing.

Happy knitting. Show your love for the NHS!
