PATTERN INFORMATION
Welcome to the Cheynes Beanie
(pronounced chains). This beanie is a
colorwork beanie that is suited towards
beginner colorwork knitters. The pattern is
knit in the round and provides an easy
introduction to the world of colorwork.
Cheynes is a small coastal town close to
where I live in the Great Southern region of
Western Australia. I felt like the chain-link
feature in the middle of this pattern was the
perfect inspiration when naming this beanie.
When knitting colorwork, it is important to
relax when carrying the floats (the yarn at the
back of the work). If the floats are too tight,
they will not have enough room to stretch
and although your beanie may look nice, it
will not fit correctly.
