Daily Beanie

The Daily Beanie is a classic ribbed hat, sure to be a staple for your fall and winter wardrobe. This beginner-friendly pattern is a super quick project that makes it perfect for gift knitting. The best thing about this hat is that it's an amazing stash-buster! It is knit in a bulky weight yarn OR equivalent combination of yarn weights held together (for example - 2 strands of worsted, or 2 strands of DK + 1 fingering). I include guidance on choosing different combinations of yarn weights in the pattern. See [Daily Beanie Baby + Kid][1] for children's sizes. ***View on the Stitch + Scrap blog for free, or buy a printable, ad-free [pattern PDF on my Etsy][2]*** **Sizing** Short (Long) options to fit adult size 21-24 in. / 53-61 cm head circumference. *Note on size choice: Either the short or long length will stretch to fit most adult head sizes, but will change the width of the folded brim.* **Yarn Choice and Yardage** Yardage: Approximately 95-105 (125-145) yards of bulky weight (or equivalent) yarn. The hat is knit in a bulky weight OR equivalent, meaning you can hold different yarn weights together to achieve the same gauge. Here are a few of the combinations I have used to knit this hat: * 1 strand Bulky * 2 strands Worsted * 2 strands DK + 1 Fingering OR 1 Lace (fluffy mohair) * 1 strand DK + 2 Fingering + 1 Lace (fluffy mohair) **Needles and Notions** *16” US size 10.5 (6.5mm) circular needle *US size 10.5 (6.5mm) double-pointed needles or longer circular needle for magic loop method (for crown of hat) *6 stitch markers (with one distinct BOR marker) *Tapestry Needle for sewing in ends **Gauge** 16 stitches and 17 rows = 4x4in./10x10cm (unstretched) blocked square in 2x2 rib, in the round, on size 10.5 (6.5mm) needle. **Techniques Used** Knit, Purl Long Tail or German Twisted Cast On K2tog decrease Let me know if you have any questions!
