Basic Beanie Free Knitting Pattern

This pattern is designed to get you knitting in the round and add decreases to your knitting skills.

This is a wonderful template of beanie (tammy, hat) to experiment with as your skills grow – but also the perfect beanie foundation piece to add your own flair!

Pattern Level: Beginner+

Estimated Knit Time: Under 4 hours

Wool: 1 x 75grm Sumptuous

Needles: 5.5 mm circular needles with 60cm cable, knit in the round

Skills: Knit, cast on, cast off, join in the round, knit + purl rib, k2tog (decreases), sewing up

Please refer our online tutorials for these skills

Here are some links to help you:

• Setup your circular needles
• Cast on
• Working in the round
• Knit stitch, including the first stitch of the row
• Purl Stitch
• How to change between knit and purl
• Cast off
• Sewing in the ends
• How to make a pom pom on your hand

The beanie will have a ribbed band and then a plain body for a few swift decreases to bring the top together. I find this style suits more people, as it has a looser, softer look (and room for more hair).
