A beginner's guide to knitting beanie

A beanie - a simple knitted scarf that covers your head and keeps it warm - is a great option. It is very easy to knit a beanie. This guide covers all the necessary techniques to knit a beanie. Once you've finished your swatch, it's time to start knitting the beanie’s main body.

The first step in knitting a beanie is to get your tension gauge. This is crucial because you'll need the correct number of stitches per meter. You can do this by laying out the gauge and making sure it is flat. Divide the number stitches by the length on your swatch to find the appropriate tension. If the gauge isn’t perfect, you’ll need to buy more.

Dimensions at the finished size

The finished size of a beanie depends on the head circumference of the wearer. This type of hat can stretch so you should measure it with a soft tape. It should measure 21 inches / 54cm wide, or approximately nine inches wider that the wearer's head. If the wearer is wearing glasses, this measurement does not matter as the hat can be adjusted to fit their eyes.

Stitch pattern

A beanie stitch pattern starts with 80 stitches using size 8 circular needles. You will work in a pattern known as "knit 2 purl 2" where you alternate knitting and purling stitches. You can reduce the length of the hat by knitting two stitches in one stitch. Finally, you can tie it by pulling the yarn tightly.

If you plan to knit an adult hat, you can use two strands of yarn. This will help you knit a bigger beanie with more stitches per inch. The adult size is 53 to 56cm.
