Inspired by the quiet strength of trail markers and the winding paths they guide us along, the **Waymark Beanie** is a soft, textured knit that blends comfort with striking stitch definition. Designed with travel-friendly simplicity in mind, this beanie knits up beautifully in heavy DK or light worsted yarn, making it a perfect project for gift knitting, market prep, or simply treating yourself. Whether you’re following the twists and turns of a hike—or just your daily routine—Waymark is a soft and stylish companion for the journey. Worked in the round with handy progress boxes, so you can keep a visual track of where you are. You might feel like you’re playing bingo. I have formatted this pattern in such a way that you should only need to print the pages for your preferred size (if you prefer to use a hard copy when knitting). Saving the planet one unprinted page at a time. ***Skills Used ...*** > * Loose, long tail cast on. > * Knit and purl stitches. > * Decreasing (K2TOG, K2TOGtbl). > * Cables (left and right). ***You will need the following ...*** > * DK or a LIGHT Worsted : Approx. 70g/75g/95g . > * 3.5 & 4mm* circulars. > * 4mm dpns for working the crown (on longer cable and magic loop). > * Cable needle. > * 1 BOR marker. > * Tapestry needle (the sewing those dreaded ends in). > > *(Or size required to obtain gauge) ***Gauge and Size ...*** > 22 stitches and 28 rows over 10cm (4 inches) using 4mm needles in stocking stitch (in the round). > If you get more stitches/rows than me go with larger needles than noted and if you get less, go smaller. > > Measurements (when unblocked and laid flat) : > > **SMALL** Width (brim) 6.5 inches - Width (body) 7 inches - Height 8 inches > > **MEDIUM** Width (brim) 7 inches - Width (body) 8 inches - Height 8.75 inches > > **LARGE** Width (brim) 7.5 inches - Width (body) 8.5 inches - Height 9.5 inches > > I have a 22 inch head and medium is perfect for me.
