The Wavy Days Beanie Knitting Pattern
Based on tester feedback, this pattern is labeled easy/intermediate. I have linked video tutorials for the different techniques used, the entire pattern is color coded and there are charts for the colorwork or you can choose to follow the written colorwork instructions. I would not recommend this pattern to someone brand new to knitting, but if you are very comfortable with the basic stitches and can easily learn new techniques you should be able to make this hat.

Gauge: 19 sts by 24 rows stockinette stitch in colorwork pattern = 4 by 4 in / 10 by 10 cm square

There are 3 sizes:
Size 1 fits 18-20 in / 46-51 cm head circumference
Size 2 fits 21-23 in / 53-58 cm head circumference
Size 3 fits 24-26 in / 61-66 cm head circumference

Techniques Used:
Fair Isle Knitting (using 2 colors at once)
Knitting in the Round
Cable Cast On
Twisted Ribbing
Reading Colorwork Charts

Materials:

• Needles: 6mm (US 10) circular needles, either a 16 or 24 in (40 or 60 cm) cable length. 6mm (US 10) double pointed needles are optional for the crown shaping section. If you would like to use circular needles for the entire hat, you can always use the magic loop method.

• Yarn: 2 colors of bulky (#5) or heavy worsted (#4) weight yarn, I recommend using a wool or acrylic yarn. For best results at least one of the colors should be solid and the darker of the two colors should be used as color A. My sample is made with Petite wool in the the colors ‘yarnicorn’ and ‘natural’. Color A: approx. 53 (64) 74 grams / 1.86 (2.25) 2.6 oz. Color B: approx. 25 (30) 35 grams / 0.88 (1) 1.23 oz.

• Yarn that was used by me or the pattern’s testers: Petite Wool, Yarn Bee: Tender Touch, Hobbii Amigo Chunky, Rico Design Creative Melange Chunky, Cascade Eco Wool, Brooklyn Tweed Quarry, Cascade 220, Yarn Bee: Must be Merino Aran, Hobbii Fluffy Day XL, Plymouth Yarns: Chunky Merino Superwash,

• Other supplies: One stitch marker, Scissors to cut your yarn, Tapestry needle
