The Fun Faux Beanie pattern is a twist on the crocheted-to-look-like-knitted concept. This knitting pattern is knit-to-look-like-crochet and, I promise, you will look twice - that’s the faux part! The fun part is all the possible color combinations you will make as you use up all those pesky, partial skeins and scraps taking up way too much room in your closet. Who doesn’t want to turn them into something beautiful? And you get to do it with a choice of single or dual stripes, or a combination of both. Now that’s a lot of possibilities!

Pattern is written for three weights in two sizes (teen/adult and adult), and is an easy cable knitting pattern in US terms (English). It is perfect for market prep because it absolutely flies off the needles. It is a super quick knit in the round and a fun way to use up all those annoying partial skeins and turn them into something useful.

Though written for super bulky, bulky and light bulky yarn, pattern easily lends itself to other weights and sizes with its simple four-stitch repeat over four rounds. Helpful tables, charts and video tutorials are included eliminating any guess-work. New to cabling? No problem. This simple 1/1 cable (RPC and LPC) is explained in a video tutorial and you’ll even be shown how to do it without a cable needle. You will be amazed how easy it is! The end result is a beautifully, bulky beanie that is full of texture, quick to make, a pleasure to knit, superbly warm to wear, and best of all, made from scraps!
