Chloe

The Chloe Beanie is a simple and stylish hat. The simple design together with the wide folded brim gives it a contemporary and no-fuss look that makes it easy to wear with any outfit. It’s also a perfect project to knit up when you want a project that you can finish quickly, and it’s a great stash busting project too. **Sizes:** One size. **Finished garment measurements:** Circumference: 46 cm / 18.5". Total length: 29 cm / 11.5". Total length with folded rib brim: 21 cm / 8.25". The beanie has quite a bit of negative ease because it stretches a lot and will fit over most adult size heads. **Gauge:** 20 sts x 30 rnds = 10 cm / 4" on 4 mm / US 6 needles in Stockinette st holding two strands of silk-mohair and one strand of merino together, after blocking. 26 sts x 30 rnds = 10 cm / 4" on 3 mm / US 2.5 needles in 1 x 1 rib holding 2 strands of silk-mohair and 1 strand of merino together, after blocking. **Needles:** 3 mm / US 2.5: circular needles 40–60 cm / 16–24" (or longer ones for the Magic Loop technique) for rib. 4 mm / US 6: circular needles 40–60 cm / 16–24" (or longer ones for the Magic Loop technique) and DPNs (if you're not using the Magic Loop technique) for Stockinette st and crown shaping. **Notions:** Stitch markers, tapestry needle. **Suggested yarn:** The beanie is worked by holding two strands of lace weight yarn together with one strand of fingering weight yarn.
