Homey Beanie is a companion to Homey Cardigan, available here on Ravelry.

Worked in a 10 ply yarn, it is a quick and enjoyable project, making it the perfect knitted gift.
The beanie is meant to be worn with a slouch but if a more traditional look is preferred, one can start the crown shaping earlier by skipping the last Stripes repeat.

Gauge 18 stitches & 28 rounds = 10cm (4”) in stockinette stitch, blocked.
19 stitches & 28 rounds = 10cm (4”) in 2/2 Rib, blocked and unstretched.
