Edvins beanie was designed together with my son, who wanted a soft beanie for fall and winter with a cable pattern. It has a beautifully textured cable-knit pattern, blending the softness of merino wool with the delicate halo of mohair. The design features classic cable stitches that add depth and elegance, making it a stylish yet cozy accessory for colder months. The merino and mohair combination ensures the beanie is warm, lightweight, and luxuriously soft. Perfect for gifting or adding to your handmade collection! The pattern comes in three sizes, one size for children and two for adults.

The beanie is knitted starting from the double folded brim with a Longtail Tubular CO method creating a beautiful edge. Then you follow an easy cable chart and finally make decreases for the top of the hat.
