Spinnaker Beanie

The Spinnaker Beanie is a sister pattern to my Spindrift Beanie and Cowl and Seaspray Beanie patterns. Faux cables created by right twisted stitches give the look of little waves. The town of White Bear Lake, MN where I live is known for sailing races, so the Spinnaker Beanie name is a nod to the iconic sailboats on White Bear Lake. This pattern is written for 4 weights of yarn (worsted, light bulky, bulky, and super bulky), be sure to pick the correct instructions for the yarn weight you're using. A handy resource for yarn substitutions is yarnsub.com. The Spinnaker Beanie is knit in the round, from the bottom up. First you will knit the brim in a simple rib stitch which will be later folded up to form an extra cozy, adjustable brim. The body is knit in a four-round repeat, then the crown is shaped with simple decreases. This pattern is written for adult size, and it's easily modified for size by increasing or decreasing the cast on stitches in multiples of 4 stitches, and/or adjusting the length of the brim and number of body pattern repeats.
