Learn to Knit a Beanie

This beanie is the perfect project for beginner knitters. Designed for my Learn to Knit class, this simple rolled-edge beanie will provide a few hours of practice for the novice knitter! No purling and no casting off is required - only one ball of chunky wool and one set of circular needles.

Size

It measures 42cm (18.5") but it fits up to medium-large adult head. There is plenty of stretch to fit various head sizes.

Yarn

100 metres of Bulky weight yarn (12-14 ply yarn) will be enough for the beanie and pom pom.

Sample used: 1 x ball of Fiddlesticks Grange 14, 100g/ 106m in colourway Pearl.

Suggested Needles

6.5mm 40cm circular needles.

Gauge/tension

14 stitches per 10cm/4” in stocking stitch.
