Sweet Illusion Beanie
Note: this beanie design is also included in False Cable Beanie Collection together with Crossing Dreams Beanie at a discounted price! Both designs feature a beautiful braided texture similar to cables but they are not knitted with a cable needle.
This beanie features a texture that gives the illusion of cables but it’s not knitted like cables, that’s why I called this pattern Sweet Illusion Beanie.
The instructions are for multiple yarn weights bulky / light bulky / aran / worsted and for a one-size-fits-most adult beanie.
The beanie in the first photo was knitted with Malabrigo Mecha (light bulky yarn).
The pattern comes with a video tutorial showing how to knit the “illusion cable” stitch.
Skill level: intermediate
Yardage
Bulky: 104 yards / 95 meters
Light bulky: 128 yards / 118 meters
Aran: 155 yards / 140 meters
Worsted: 170 yards / 155 meters
Needles
Bulky: US 11 / 8 mm & US 10 / 6 mm
Light bulky: US 10 ½ / 6.5 mm & US 9 / 5.5 mm
Aran: US 9 / 5.5 mm & US 8 / 5 mm
Worsted: US 8 / 5 mm & US 7 / 4.5 mm
Notions
One stitch marker to mark the start of the round, stitch markers can optionally be used to mark the pattern repeats in the body
Optional: crochet hook (if you find it difficult to make the elongated stitches with the knitting needles)
Tapestry needle for finishing
