Description: ►►► GRAB THE FREE BEANIE PATTERN HERE: sheepandstitch.com/pattern/how-to-knit-a-classic-ribbed-hat-free-pattern-and-video In this video, I’ll show you how to knit a classic fisherman's beanie. Some may call them a watch cap or a fisherman’s hat or maybe a toque (if you’re Canadian!) Whatever you call it, I’ll show you how to knit this classic hat step-by-step in this tutorial. This hat is knit in a beginner-friendly 1x1 rib, and it’s got a sleek decrease that keeps the rib pattern intact. This hat can be worn cuffed for a fisherman’s look or un-cuffed for a slouchy feel. With two sizes, one for adults and one for babies and toddlers, this hat is perfect for the whole family! __________________________ /// MATERIALS /// YARNS USED: ⟡ 2 balls of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in color Burnt Orange: lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/debbie-bliss-cashmerino-aran?utm_medium=affiliate&a_aid=22ca8fee​ ⟡ 1 hank of Cascade Yarns 220 Merino in color Sky Blue: lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/cascade-yarns-220-merino?utm_medium=affiliate&a_aid=22ca8fee NEEDLES USED:​ ⟡ 16" 4.0mm circular needle: lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/hiyahiya-bamboo-circular-needles-16-40cm?utm_medium=affiliate&a_aid=22ca8fee ⟡ 1 set of 4mm double pointed needles: lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/hiyahiya-bamboo-double-pointed-needles-5-12cm-set-of-5?utm_medium=affiliate&a_aid=22ca8fee (These needles are just a recommendation.
