Air Balloon Beanie
An intermediate level hat pattern designed to be made in two or more colours.
The pattern cleverly sculpts the crown by decreasing the size of the clusters with smaller and smaller stitches to create the kaleidoscope effect.
This project has that “one more row” quality I know so many of you love!
Written in UK & US terms.
Charts and video tutorials included to guide you.
This beanie pattern is very easy to adapt to suit the size of any head. Try the hat on for size before you join the Headband into a ring and adjust the number of repeats to fit. Increase or decrease by a multiple of 4 rows.
The pattern gives the instructions for using two colours. If you wish to increase the number of colours, use two colours only for the ribbing then introduce Colour C for the set up round of the Crown. After that, change colours at the end of the rounds as often as you wish. You could be as creative as you wish when it comes to the number of colours!
My patterns are tech edited and tested before being released.
