Welcome to Stacey Namaste Designs. This beanie is part of my Time for Ease series. This series was inspired because I realized how relaxing it is to knit a non-complicated pattern with quick results, after knitting beanies for all of my family members for Christmas, and after a very stressful and challenging year. My beanie creation and knitting continued after the holidays, and it is a wonderful break from some of the more detailed patterns I typically knit. I hope you enjoy this pattern while sipping tea, listening to your favorite audiobook, catching up on your favorite television series, or just listening to music and relaxing. Also, several people requested an alternative style of stretchy brim rather than ribbing, with a looser style that is somewhat slouchy, due to thick/styled hair. I love the look and feel of this beanie. It is just lovely! Sometimes, less is more!

The photographed example is made with Hobbii Järbo Cookie yarn in color Bohemian (46215). Cookie is a cake yarn that is 100% acrylic and sooooo soft. Approximately 185 yards (170 m) were used for this beanie, knitting in the round using 4mm/6 US and 5mm/8 US circular needles, with double pointed needles for crown shaping. If you are interested in trying cabling, that is the only part you’ll have to learn - the rest of the stitching is very simple. This hat is designed to fit an average-sized adult head.
