Mimosa Beanie by Jie

What Is Being Made

The Mimosa Beanie is a charming, seamless knitted hat designed by independent designer Jie. This cute beanie is suitable for kids, teenagers, and adults, with three size options available: S/M/L. The finished hat features a circumference of approximately 17", 20", or 22" (43, 51, or 56 cm) and a depth of 8", 9", or 10" (20, 23, or 25 cm). The beanie is topped with a big fluffy pompom that adds a decorative finishing touch to the completed project.

Knitting Techniques

The Mimosa Beanie is knitted seamlessly from the bottom up, meaning you begin at the brim and work upward toward the crown. This construction method eliminates the need for seaming and creates a smooth, professional finish. The pattern incorporates two-color knitting, combining green and white yarn to create visual interest and texture throughout the hat. The slip stitch technique is used strategically to build beautiful textured patterns across the fabric, adding depth and dimension to the finished beanie.

Stitches Used

• Stockinette Stitch: The primary stitch used in the beanie, creating a smooth, classic knit fabric
• Slip Stitch: Used in combination with the two colors to create decorative texture and pattern
• Yarn Over: Incorporated into the pattern for stitch construction
• Knit and Purl: Basic stitches that form the foundation of the pattern

Materials and Tools

This beanie pattern calls for two colors of 8-ply wool yarn: 50 grams (170 meters) of green wool and 50 grams (170 meters) of white wool. The pattern is worked using circular knitting needles in two sizes: 6mm and 7mm needles. The gauge for this pattern, when working two strands of yarn in stockinette stitch, is 6 stitches and 7.5 rows per 10 centimeters (4 inches by 4 inches).

Skill Level and Pattern Contents

The Mimosa Beanie is rated as beginner with some experience, making it an accessible project for knitters who have completed basic projects and are comfortable with fundamental techniques. The downloadable PDF pattern includes comprehensive resources to guide you through the project: a detailed stitch glossary explaining all abbreviations and techniques, step-by-step written instructions, visual charts for pattern sections, and a schematic with precise measurements for all three sizes. These components work together to support knitters at various learning stages.
