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.
