April Showers Beanie
Pattern Notes:
The April Showers Beanie is a simple stranded color work design using 5 colors of worsted (4) weight yarn. The best part about this pattern is that there are no long floats to worry about catching, so this is a great introduction to colorwork for a beginner. The pattern is written and charted in 5 sizes, from Baby to Adult.
As with any colorwork design, many folks tend to knitter tighter on the colorwork portion than in straight stockinette stitch. It is wise to make a colorwork swatch when checking your gauge. One great and simple way to combat tight tension is to go up a needle size or two when you get to the charted portion of the pattern. I also find that my tension is much more even when I do two-handed colorwork knitting. There are lots of video tutorials for how to use this technique on YouTube!
Techniques Required:
• Long Tail Cast On (or stretchy cast on of your choice)
• Stranded colorwork in the round
• Reading a knitting chart (Optional—pattern is also written)
