Meet Treviso - the faux knit beanie! Inspired by the simple, rustic beauty of the ancient ruins, this hat was designed specifically for my husband! He asked for a beanie that would keep him warm on his winter walk to work, but it must be pure simplicity. Since I didn’t want to suddenly pull out my very dull knitting skills, I simply adapted the waistcoat stitch for this hat. The beauty in this beanie pattern shines when a tonal or variegated yarn is used. I’ve made it in solid gray for my husband, but this one is made with Mary Maxim Prism in the color Blue Lagoon. The waistcoat stitch creates a thick and cozy hat, while the neat faux knit V’s let the yarn really show off its beauty!

This pattern is available in a wide variety of sizes, from Preemie to Adult Large (the size I made for my husband). In fact, if you prefer, the basic pattern can be used with ANY yarn weight! Of course, you will need to adjust the hook size if you decide to use chunky or bulky yarns. The PDF of the hat pattern available in my Ravelry shop includes a sizing chart for both slouchy or fitted versions in all the sizes. By sticking to the measurements, you can use your favorite yarn and hook to create a truly unique beanie.
