This intermediate skill level, textured beanie design is a fun and quick make that will receive lots of compliments.

Texture results from modified Catherine Wheel stitch and 3LO construction.

Perfect for unique gifts, charity makes, and market stall stock. The design is suited to both males and females.
Make it fitted or slouchy by adjusting the number of repeats.

Although Worsted weight yarn has been used for the example beanies and headband, DK yarn can also be used to construct the beanie/ headband. A sizing guide is provided to help with selecting a foundation stitch number that corresponds to a standard circumference for toddler through to adult size.

Worsted yarn amount required: 60 to 110g/ 24 to 44 Oz, depending on whether beanie or headband is being made, and size of item.

Hook: 5-6mm/ H-J for Worsted yarn, depending on your tension and the thickness of the yarn.

Beanie instructions free on blog (minus photos).
Beanie and headband instructions and images for the more difficult parts of beanie/ headband construction are provided in pdf.

This pattern is dedicated to my dear friend Yvie, who had a cycling accident just before her 30th birthday that left her paralysed from chest level down. Before her accident she was an elite athlete and was passionate about working in the field as a marine biologist. With grit and determination Yvie completed her extensive rehabilitation and eventually started training for the Paralympics. She is now raising two gorgeous boys, and is continuing to advocate for inclusive spaces, through her work with National Parks South Australia. Her vision is to see no barriers to participation, with national parks providing experiences and opportunities for everyone, no matter what their ability is. Thank you Yvie for helping all of us to be more aware about accessibility and for being an inspiration to us all. Please go to Park access for all - Yvie Eglinton - YouTube to find out more about Yvie’s journey and work.
