The illusion heart beanie is a great knit for the winter.
It is knitted in the round starting at the base of the hat and worked up to the crown.

It can be knitted with more than one colorway, if you want the Zigzag pattern to pop you can always use an accent color with the Purled sections of the main pattern.

Although the yarn bee yarn used categorizes itself as a worsted weight yarn it seems to be a bit thicker than the average worsted. That being said please double check your yarn gauge or do a swatch beforehand. (18sts : 23 rows= 4”/10cm with US size 8 needle)

-Currently there is only one size option, but you can adjust with yarn or needle sizes if needed. I will be working on adding more sizing options in the near future :)

-Materials:
US Size 7 (4.5 mm) & US Size 8 (5 mm) DPNs / Circular Needles or sizes needed to obtain gauge. 1 Stitch marker & Tapestry needle

-If you are using Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek you will only need 1 skein! (its cheap and super soft). If you decide to use another yarn please, again, check the gauge and make sure you have at least 180 yards to work with.

Thanks so much for buying my very first pattern! I hope you enjoy knitting with it!
