Cecile Knit Beanie by Katya Frankel
What is Being Made
Cecile is a full beanie hat designed by Katya Frankel, featuring a slightly gathered crown. This knit hat is constructed in the round from the bottom up, offering three finished size options with brim circumferences of 17¾, 19, or 21 inches (45, 48.5, or 53 cm) to fit head circumferences of 20, 22, or 24 inches (51, 56, or 61 cm) respectively. The beanie is a classic, versatile hat suitable for everyday wear.
Knitting Techniques Used
Cecile employs several fundamental and intermediate knitting techniques. The hat is knit in the round, which creates a seamless, tubular construction ideal for fitted hats. Cable stitches are worked throughout the entire pattern, providing both visual interest and textural depth. The crown shaping is accomplished through crown decreases worked in segments, allowing for a gradual and even reduction of stitches that creates the gathered crown effect. The pattern also incorporates stocking stitch as a foundational stitch, along with simple increases and decreases for shaping.
Stitches and Stitch Pattern
The primary stitches featured in Cecile include stocking stitch and cable stitches. The stitch pattern gauge is 25 stitches over 4 inches (10 cm) wide in the cable stitch pattern, while stocking stitch gauges at 18 stitches and 24 rounds over 4 inches (10 cm) when worked on 4mm (US6) needles. This combination of textured cables against smooth stocking stitch creates visual contrast and dimension throughout the hat.
Materials: Yarn and Needles
Cecile requires one skein of Natural Dye Studio Dazzle BFL Aran weight yarn in the Sage colorway. This yarn is composed of 100% British Blue Faced Leicester wool, offering warmth and durability. The skein contains 166 meters or 180 yards per 100 grams. The pattern calls for a 4mm (US6) circular needle measuring 16 inches (40 cm) long, which is ideal for knitting small circumference projects in the round. Additional notions include a stitch marker, cable needle for managing cable stitches, and a tapestry needle for finishing and weaving in ends.
Difficulty Level
Cecile is rated as an Intermediate
