I’m working with the fabulous Araucania Limari yarn (70% merino, 20% alpaca,10% silk) at the moment and it is perfect for my Fisherman’s Friend Superfast Cable Beanie hat.
This nautical beanie can be knitted in any superbulky/super chunky yarn and uses my Superfast technique so is 4 times faster to knit up than ordinary knitting.The pattern provides full instructions for 4 sizes XS,S,M & L so can be made for anyone from babies to adults with a head circumference between 16-24 inches.
I chose a really simple cable design so you do not have to concentrate too hard.
It is knitted on 8 mm needles so should not take longer than 3 hours to make including the pom-pom.
