Beanie Calin
The Beanie Calin by Brooknit Bonneterie is designed to give your head a warm hug.
It is made by doubling the thread of yarn to give it a warmer style, with cables and twists to make the texture tighter.
It is thick, yet very stretchy and will fit a wide range of heads, from children as old as 7, up to adults as young as you like!
It is pretty, elegant, and versatile.
It is soft and easy to keep around!
It is available as a kit (with or without circular needles; you will need both sizes 8 and 10), or as a hand-knitted piece.
If you are not a knitter (yet), or not ready to become one (yet), we've got you!
The hand-knitted version is "made to order".
No stock! It is knitted, just for you, right here, when you ask!
We will confirm the timeline within a day after the order.
If you want an estimate before you place the order, reach out!
As a kit, to be knitted, it is a very entertaining project, requiring counting, your attention, and focus.
Techniques used: tubular cast-on, ribs, cables, mock cable stitch, and various decreases.
It is the perfect meditative project for a more experienced knitter, yet an entertaining project!
The pattern is written as a single size and knitted in the round.

Care
Good news: the Super Wash 100% Merino is machine washable! Pick the delicate or wool program, use a wool detergent, cold temperature.
Just lay flat to dry (preferably on a towel) and VOILA!
Gravity on wet wool is not a friend here and will cause distortions in the garment.
For small stains, you can gently use a little bit of soap and water.
And remember, Merino wool is a natural fiber and you don't need to wash often. Unpleasant odors can naturally fly away by simply airing out the garment for a couple of hours (weather permitting obviously!).
