Keeping cosy has never been more stylish! Introducing my Bristol Beanie with its decorative square stitch pattern and simple, but satisfying crown.

Using only 90m of aran yarn, this cosy, close fitting beanie is an ideal accessory for autumn through to spring, and easily kept in your bag or pocket for when you need some extra warmth.

The perfect companion to my Bristol scarf, this beanie is a quick, fun project for knitters of all abilities. Knitted in the round, it’s a delightful combination of textured band and lace stitch blocks surrounded by knit stitch. It’s an excellent stash busting project and last minute gift knit.

But whether you knit this accessory for yourself or for someone else, it looks amazing and is a fabulous way to keep warm on a chilly day.

Happy knitting!
