This is a great intermediate pattern that produces a beautiful result with a variety of yarns. This is also a great pattern for advanced beginner knitters who are ready to stretch a little and try a cable technique.

I fell in love with Manos del Uruguay Classica yarn in the colorway “Wildflowers”, and started experimenting with different stitches. The Meander Beanie was born! I can’t tell you how many times I have made this beanie and developed it so it can be made in Worsted, Heavy Worsted or Bulky yarns. Everything from Solids, Tonals, to Multi-Colored yarns look amazing with this pattern! 

The circumference can easily be increased or decreased in increments of 8 stitches to accommodate different head measurements or yarn weights.

A single skein of most yarns will complete this pattern.
