Sparky Beanie
If you purchase 3 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (place them all in your cart before checking out), you will automatically receive the least expensive for free!
This pretty beanie is knitted seamlessly from the bottom up and uses the slip stitch technique to create a stunning two-color stitch pattern that is truly attractive and addictive to knit, as claimed by many test knitters.
The beanie is made with approximately 0-8 cm of negative ease to provide a comfortable, but not loose, fit.
The pattern includes 7 sizes ranging from newborn to adult large. So if you are a loose knitter or prefer a snug fit hat, you may follow a smaller size pattern, use a smaller size needle or many other tips / suggestions provided in the pattern.
Difficulty:
Intermediate
(We rate the pattern as intermediate due to the diagonal direction of the stitch pattern, but the pattern is detailed and easy to follow, even for beginners who want a bit of a challenge).
Materials:
The sample beanie is knitted using 8ply (DK Weight) Classic Wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills.
Any DK weight (8ply) yarn should suit.
Note: to make the sparky stitch pattern stand out, it is also recommended to use the light-colored yarn as the background color.
