Julle

Jonna Helin named the pattern for the *Julle* beanie after her brother’s old teddy bear, as it is just as soft! The beanie is knitted holding two strands of boucle yarn together. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3) Recommended ease: 0.5–1" of negative ease. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Head Circumference: 20 (21.5, 23.5)" / 50 (55, 60) cm.

The yarn is held double throughout the pattern. Or approx. 134 (144, 158) yds / 123 (132, 144) m of bulky-weight boucle yarn. An alternative yarn suggestion is for example Woolfolk Flette Bulky. This beanie is knitted with two strands of yarn held together. A bulky-weight boucle yarn is very different from a “basic”, dense bulky-weight yarn. If you wish to use something other than boucle (or another light, fluffy yarn), check the gauge first. It is very likely that just one thread of yarn is enough.
