YARNS AND MATERIALS
Approx. 40 (50) 60 (70) 80 g of Cashmerini from Gabo Wool (70% Extra Fine Merino Wool, 30% Cashmere, 50g=115m), held double throughout.
Color #5869 Poppy Blue and color #5612 Dark Chocolade.
Note: If you prefer to knit the beanie using a single strand of yarn, choose a Bulky/Chunky weight yarn that allows you to match the gauge indicated in the pattern.
6 mm (US 10 / UK 4) circular needles, 40 cm and 60 cm.
Note: I use short 10 cm needle tips. I used a 60 cm cable at the beginning of the project to work in magic loop, then switched to
a 40 cm cable after the increase section so I could continue knitting in the round without magic loop. Adjust the cable length according to your needle tip length and personal preference.
GAUGE
14 sts x 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch, 2 strands of yarn held together on needle size 6 mm [US10 / UK4].
