Serena Beanie
Fancy a bundle discount? Use code SERENA_BUNDLE to save 20% when purchasing the Serena Beanie and Serena Scarf patterns together. This can also be applied if you’ve already purchased one of the patterns.
The Serena Beanie is named after the essence of serenity itself. It’s a testament to the calming power of knitting and the importance of “Me Time”.
The beanie may appear deceptively simple at first glance, with its classic ribbed design, but there’s a unique twist. Judy’s Magic Cast-on has been incorporated to start this beanie from the center, making it possible for you to customize the length of the hat.
Starting from the center and working your way up to shape the crown, you’ll find where the magic happens: once the top is complete, you continue knitting from the center downwards. This ingenious technique allows you to customize the fit as you go, ensuring that your Serena Beanie will be a perfect, snug companion on your chilly adventures.
Serenity isn’t just a state of mind; it’s something you can create with your own two hands.
So, wrap yourself in the tranquility of this knitting project and relish those precious moments of self-care and creativity during the colder seasons.
The matching scarf, the Serena Scarf, is available as a separate pattern.
