Hello hello!
Today I’m super happy to give you guys this super fun and easy beanie.
It has been very requested since I showed it to you guys a few months ago on my Instagram.
It is beanie weather and this one will definitely be your favourite one!
Pin now, knit later!
Today we are going to be working with 2 different brands. Rasta from Malabrigo and The Wool from We Are Knitters.
Both are categorized as super chunky, but here’s the thing, we all know these kinds of wool are a bit more than super chunky, and that is why it requires a different pattern.
Even though both are super bulky weight yarn, between the two of them, Malabrigo is slightly thinner than We Are Knitters. That is why I will give you two different patterns.
If you don’t know or have never used Malabrigo Rasta or The Wool by WAK, they are 100% Merino Wool, one-ply yarn.
They are the softest yarn in the market (in my opinion). Malabrigo has beautiful variegated colours, and WAK has more solid tones. Both are great for hats and winter accessories.
And if you’re asking yourself, 100% Wool, that must be itchy, let me tell you, it is NOT at all!
As always, I will leave the PDF version down here. The PDF includes all sizes, from NB to Adult and it is free of ads. You can easily print it or download it on your phone or tablet.
