This is a pattern for a one size adult beanie. It is worked from the bottom up and features alternating Latvian braids. There is a photo tutorial included at the end of the pattern to help walk you through how to knit a Latvian braid.

Please review the pattern before printing as you may not need or want to print the photo tutorial at the end!

Materials:

Yarn:

Any worsted weight yarn will work (or leftovers), in the following quantities:

  • Main Color (MC): approximately 40 grams of yarn
  • Complimentary Color (CC): approximately 35 grams of yarn

If you wish to make your hat slouchy, plan on extra yarn (estimate up to 10 additional grams of yarn per additional stripe). For a fitted beanie, as pictured, you should be able to get two hats out of two average skeins of yarn.

Needles:

Size UZS 7/4.5mm needles in circular knitting method of choice (DPNs, magic loop, etc.), or size needed to obtain gauge.

Notions:

  • Stitch Markers (eight are required for this pattern)
  • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

A special thanks to my test knitters!
