North Shore Beanie

The North Shore Beanie is a timeless hat that features a triple brim for added warmth. It is knitted from the bottom up, showcasing a minimal yet decorative decrease on either side, while the front and back maintain stockinette. The North Shore Beanie has around 3” \[7.5 cm\] of negative ease. So sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to a head circumference of 20 (21) 22 (23) 24" \[51 (53) 56 (58.5) 61 cm\] (the final size of beanie will be 3” \[7.5 cm\]) less than the overall circumference. This means that if you measure a 21" \[53 cm\] head circumference you will make size (S) with a finished circumference of 18" \[45 cm\]. Sample shown modeled is wearing size (S) with approx. 3" \[7.5 cm\] negative ease. *DK Version:* Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to Child (Adult S) Adult M (Adult L) Adult XL Finished Circumference 17 (18) 19 (20) 21" \[42 (44.5) 48 (50) 52 cm\] Gauge 18 sts and 28 rows = 4 x 4” \[10 x 10 cm\] in stockinette st worked flat on 5 mm (US Size 8) needles, blocked Needle Size 5 mm (US 8) 16” circular needles 5 mm (US 8) double-pointed needles/magic loop method, or the required needles to obtain gauge Materials 100 (100) 100 (100) 200 g Wooldreamers Mota (100% merino wool, 100 g = 252 yds) in colorway 463, 1 (1) 1 (1) 2 skein(s) *Worsted/Bulky version:* Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to Child (Adult S) Adult M (Adult L) Adult XL Finished Circumference 17 (18) 19 (20) 21" \[42.5 (45) 47.5 (50) 52.5 cm\] Gauge 16 sts and 26 rows = 4 x 4” \[10 x 10 cm\] in stockinette st worked flat on 5 mm (US Size 8) needles, blocked Needle Size 5 mm (US 8) 16” circular needles 5 mm (US 8) double-pointed needles/magic loop method, or the required needles to obtain gauge Materials 100 (100) 100 (150) 150 g CaMaRose Snefnug (55% alpaca, 35% cotton, and 10% merino wool, 50 g = 120 yds) in colorway 7310 Askegra, 2 (2) 2 (3) 3 skeins *held together with* 25 g Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair (70% mohair, 30% silk, 25 g = 246 yds) in colorway Pearl Grey, 1 skein *Note:* Two strands are held together throughout the project: one strand of bulky weight and one strand of lace weight yarns, but you may choose to knit this beanie using only a single strand of worsted or bulky weight yarn as long as you can meet the correct gauge For both versions: Notions 2 stitch markers (1 of a different color to denote BOR), tapestry needle Techniques Knitting in the round, long-tail cast-on, *German Short Row*, *decreasing*, *Kitchener Stitch Method*, wet blocking The worsted/bulky and dk weight versions are available in one pattern. *Indicates linked video support*
