A beanie that’s anything but basic! This garter-stitch hat is worked in three sections and in three different directions. You’ll begin with a provisional cast-on and work around the body of the hat sideways with short rows for shaping, then join with Kitchener stitch. Next, you’ll pick up stitches along the shorter edge and work upward to the top, decreasing as you go. Then finally, you’ll pick up stitches around the longer edge and work downward to create the ribbed brim. The eyelets within the body of the hat are entirely optional.
- Sizes: Approx. 13 1/2 (16 1/2, 18 1/2)” circumference, unstretched; hat is very stretchy – sizes correspond to child (ladies’ average, men’s average)
- Yarn: 110 to 220 yards worsted-weight to heavy-worsted-weight yarn
- Needles: U.S. size 5 (3.75mm) straight or circular, 16″ circular, and set of double-pointed
- Gauge: 5 stitches x 10 rows = 1″ in garter stitch
