When things get stressful and intense, comfort can be found in hooks and yarn. With straightforward rows of neat stitches that slowly grow into a gorgeous finished object, the Tranquil Waters Beanie is intended to act as a port in the storm. It’s entirely mindless, with minimal counting and shaping, and the pops of texture provide the perfect mental break.

The pattern as stated has three evenly-spaced textured rows. Notes are included for adding more/less textured rows and to place the rows anywhere in the pattern. There are also instructions for making the beanie longer/shorter as well as for adjusting the width of the brim.

1-3 stitch markers are recommended, but not required, and you can optionally add a faux fur pom.

Handmade objects created from this pattern are not subject to copyright and you can do as you please with your finished object.

Printing
Both a regular and printer friendly version are available! The regular version includes large photos on the first page and the last three pages, so print accordingly. The printer-friendly version has only one photo on the cover page, and less spacing so the pattern takes up fewer pages. If you are working from the printer-friendly version and are having trouble with a pattern, I strongly recommend checking the regular version. The text will be easier to read and it might have more detailed instructions.

Screen Reader Compatibility
The main pattern pdf is designed to be screen reader compatible. The text is all in one column and headers are formatted according to the style sheet. The pattern is written out and the images have descriptive alt text. Please note that the pattern uses standard abbreviations (like dc, sc, ch, and st) rather than fully writing out each word. Size information is provided in a table, but is also listed in text form. Please note that the pattern has multiple sizes. When relevant, instructions for larger sizes are given in parentheses. For example, sc 5 (10, 15, 20).
