Matunuck Beanie

**> This is the companion hat to the Matunuck pullover — coming Sept 23! Get the Matunuck Beanie for 20% off, using code "MatunuckBeanie20" at checkout! Offer runs through Sept 30.** When life gives you an extra skein, make a hat — the Matunuck Beanie is cable-y, textured companion to my Matunuck pullover (coming Sept 23!). After finishing Matunuck, I was left with one full skein of the delightfully woolly, soft, and warm [Woodnote DK by Baa Ram Ewe][1] and immediately cast on this companion beanie. The hat uses the same braided cable and garter rib stitch as in the Matunuck pullover, so you can use it as a wearable swatch for the sweater, or make it for your woolies basket to grab on crisp mornings. The Matunuck Beanie is a double-brim style made from the bottom up from an optional tubular cast-on. **Finished Sizes** Sizes 1 (2, 3); 16 (17.5, 19)” / 40 (44, 47.5) cm finished circumference (unstretched), after blocking; 8 (8, 8)” / 20 (20, 20) cm finished height (folded), after blocking; 10.5 (10.5, 10.5)” / 26.5 (26.5, 26.5) cm, finished height (unfolded), after blocking.
