Have you had a project this year (besides knitting of course) to keep you sane? My 2020 sanity project was designing my own knitting needles! After months of designing and sourcing, they finally arrived! Since I only use circular needles (like most of you) even for flat knitting, I decided that I wanted something special to knit with. It’s so exciting to be able to finally share these with the fiber community, especially during such difficult times! So I designed these 16 inch circulars with a cute pink cord, and the phrase “Keep Calm and Cast On” engraved next to the size.

Now to the knitting pattern as promised. This beanie is super easy to knit. It’s made with bulky yarn on circular needles (you can grab your very own pair of my needles for just $12.99!) and it is only knits and purls. It knits up in about 2 hours, making it the perfect hat for holiday gifting, or something quick that you can make in an evening.
