ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but unsure of their felting skills. I’ve recently started a newsletter where I answer customer’s questions and provide tips on felting, as well as announce new patterns and provide substantial newsletter-only discounts.

A felted wool beanie for winter with a belt at the ears for ultimate warmth. Edith is knit in the round, then felted in a washing machine. The belt is assembled post felting. The pattern calls for Edith to be knit with a strand of Cascade Eco+ held together with a strand of Malabrigo Lace. The lace yarn is intended to enrich the color and may be omitted without affecting the integrity of the pattern.

1 Skein Malabrigo Lace; 260 yards; Color: Sealing Wax

Needles: Size US 10.5 circular needle and/or double pointed needles or size to achieve gauge

Notions: Scissors, darning needle, buckle to accommodate a 2” wide strap, ¾” diameter button, and washing machine for felting
