The Design:

The Beanie Calin by Brooknit Bonneterie is a warm hug for your head.  

The choice of textures offers a unique size that fits children as young as 7 years old, up to adults, as young as you like!

The brim is made of a folded layer of ribs to provide both stretch and warmth. The rest of the beanie features an interesting, pretty, and elegant cable-and-twist texture that adds thickness for protection from the cold.

You may add a pompom at the top for a final touch, if you like!

 

Why “Calin”?

It is “hug” in French, and that’s exactly what this plastron is: a warm hug for your upper body!

Pick your favorite color, the one that goes with everything, or a special one that will stand out.

 

The Process:

It is not a very hard project for knitters and is relatively quick to knit. It is a very entertaining project, but it will definitely require attention and focus, counting, and precision.

The pattern is written as a single size and knitted in the round, starting the ribbed brim with a single thread of yarn on smaller needles. Once folded, the rest of the beanie is knitted with a double strand of yarn on the larger-size needles.
