Blizzard Beanie
I rediscovered an old and little know stitch and used it to write a pattern for a truly gorgeous beanie.
It will keep the coldest of air out, all winter long and for many winters to come.
Perfect for all kinds of winter activities, including skiing, skating and tobogganing.
The easy to execute stitch (just two rounds make the pattern), called double stockinette, creates a wonderfully cushiony and supple fabric that feels amazing.
So warm and soft! Nothing to do with double knitting, but it does create a double layered fabric.
This way it is really warm and cosy. It keeps its shape really well,shape very well and always springs back to
its original loveliness. At the same time, it is also nice and stretchy.
Largest size will fit small adult head.
Knit in the round, seamless design.
Sizes:
to fit 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-36
months, 3-5 years, 5-8 years
which corresponds to a head circumference
of about 14-16”,16-17.5”, 17-19.5”,19-21”
and 21-22 “ or
36-40 cm, 40-45 cm, 43-49 cm, 48-53 cm
and 53 -56 cm.
Materials:
Worsted weight wool about 50, 50, 100,
100, 100 g
amounts will vary depending on brand, if in
doubt, get more.
It is best to use a single stranded yarn; this will work
best with this stitch.
Use a solid colour of get some self striping yarn if you like.
Tension/ Gauge:
19 sts and 25 rows make 10 cm or 4 “
square on stockinette stitch (standard)
A set of DPN knitting needles size 5mm or
US8
a short circular 40cm or 16” knitting needle
(this is optional, you can knit it on just the
DPNs, it is just a preference of mine to start
on circular until the decreases call for
DPN’s.
