Hum Beanie

**Need more yarn or kits for this pattern?? Check out my online yarn shop for more supplies:** [Three Birds Yarn Studio][1] The Hum Beanie has a flowy texture that is made up of right twisted stitches. I thought the design resembled little hummingbird wings, hence the name ‘Hum Beanie.’ It’s currently September here in Illinois and I’ve been slightly obsessed with watching the Hummingbirds in my yard. They’re so cute! This pattern is written for 3 weights of yarn (worsted, bulky, and super bulky). You will see that I separated the instructions for each weight under each pattern section. Just follow along to the corresponding instructions for your weight. I’ve added quite a few yarn suggestions, but feel free to check gauge for other yarns of your choice. Lastly, I added a link to my video tutorial for the Right Twist (RT). **Gauge** *Worsted:* Using US 8.0 (5.0mm) needles: 18 sts and 26 rows make a 4” (10cm) square in stockinette stitch, unblocked *Bulky:* Using US 10.5 (6.5mm) needles: 13.5 sts and 18.5 rows make a 4” (10cm) square in stockinette stitch, unblocked *Super Bulky:* Using US 15.0 (10.0mm) needles: 9 sts and 12 rows make a 4” (10cm) square in stockinette stitch, unblocked **Materials** *for Worsted:* 122 yards (58g/112m) of worsted weight yarn Suggested yarns: Malabrigo Worsted, Malabrigo Washted, Malabrigo Rios, Baah Yarn Shasta, Lion Brand Wool Ease US 6 (4.0mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles US 8 (5.0mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles US 8 (5.0mm) double pointed needles Stitch marker Tapestry needle for weaving in ends *for Bulky:* 92 yards (88g/84m) of bulky weight yarn Suggested yarns: Malabrigo Chunky, Wool and the Gang Alpachino Merino, Manos Del Uruguay Franca, Juniper Moon Farm La Pampa, Ella Rae Chunky Merino US 9 (5.5mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles US 10.5 (6.5mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles US 10.5 (6.5mm) double pointed needles Stitch marker Tapestry needle for weaving in ends *for Super Bulky:* 82 yards (112g/75m) of super bulky weight yarn Suggested yarns: Baah Yarn Mammoth, Malabrigo Rasta US 13 (9.0mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles US 15 (10.0mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles US 15 (10.0mm) double pointed needles Stitch marker Tapestry needle for weaving in ends **Skills/stitches Required** Knit Purl Right Twsit (RT) Knitting in the round on circular needles and dpns Decrease stitches (k2tog) [1]: threebirdsyarnstudio.com
