Bulky Yarn Slippers on Straight Needles – FREE Knitting Pattern
If you’ve run across any of my slipper patterns before this, one thing you’ll be very familiar with is my unreasonable dislike for sewing seams on projects. I equally dislike working in ends (go to How to Work in Ends While Knitting for more on this). I have a embarrassing amount of nearly finished projects that collect in a box with unsewn seams and dangling ends. Yes. I just admitted that to everyone. No shame in my game. This is another attempt to make this happen. It’s quite difficult to make something seamless when the design calls for it to be knit flat on 2 needles. This automatically means there are going to be ends that need to meet at some point. The idea is to make them meet as you knit so they are permanently fixed together with no extra work. Don’t forget to share this pattern with your family and friends! You can use these buttonsβπΌβπΌβπΌ This pattern starts with the cast on stitches going around the foot (sans heel). You’ll then work your way up to the top cuff. I’ve pointed out where we’re starting in this photo. I have a bunch of other slipper patterns you can read right here on my website. If you go to this page – FREE Slipper Patterns, you can see everything I have written to date. If you’re looking for other extra thick slippers like this, I’ve written another entitled Easy to Knit Beginner Slipper Pattern β Knit Flat with Bulky Yarn.

Free Knitting Pattern: Scrap Yarn Hat – Bobble Beanie & Fisherman Hat
This is a free knitting pattern for a scrap busting beanie, featuring two hat styles: a bobble beanie and a fisherman-style hat. Knit flat with an easy 14-row repeat, itβs a simple, beginner-friendly project thatβs perfect for scrap yarn or a clean two-colour finish. Inspired by my original Easy Scrap Yarn Bobble Beanie, this pattern also works beautifully with planned colour combinations. The slim highlight stripes between sections help pull everything together into a neat, finished look, whether you go scrappy or coordinated. I made a video showing how I catch the yarn ends while knitting so theyβre worked in automatically as you go. No going back later trying to weave in a hundred little tails. If you do it correctly, there are only 2 ends left to sew in when youβre done: the cast-on tail and the yarn tail left after sewing the seam. You can watch how to do that below. https://youtu.be/1_zF6HAzsfY If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can buy it from including online atΒ KweenBee on Shopify,Β Etsy,Β RavelryΒ andΒ Buy Me A Coffee. I also have theΒ paperback bookletΒ andΒ KindleΒ versions available on Amazon. Donβt forget to share this pattern with anyone you think may like it on your social media accounts. Itβs free for everyone to use and itβs a great way to support my work without paying a single cent. I even included the handy share button right here ππΌ This isn’t my first winter hat I’ve designed. It’s have many more than what’s listed here. Clicking any of the photos below will take you right to the FREE pattern to make it. Click Me for ALL Hats and Beanies!

Any standard ball of yarn bought at a big box store will be enough. The amount of scrap yarn you’ll need for each section will differ depending on the size you make. For the largest size, the scrap ball needs to be the size of a bottom of a pop or soda can. There will be a bit leftover. The ball of yarn on the bottom of a soda can for comparison.

Crocheted Sun HatΒ and Bucket Hat – FREE Crochet Pattern
Gussy it up or wear it plain, this crocheted hat pattern is extremely versatile and makes hats for nearly anyone. Anyone but my 14 year old son apparently, who said, with his usual unenthusiastic honesty, βI don’t like it but it fits OKβ. How do I know this? I needed to borrow his head to see how the smaller size fit and felt when wearing, so I guess it’s at least fit approved Β―\_(‘~’)_/Β― crochet sun hat – FREE crochet pattern If you would prefer to have a KNITTED version of the bucket hat, I have that too! Click this link – Knit Bucket Hat for Children and Adults β FREE Pattern to start making hats for the entire family, kids included! I recently added mushrooms to the bucket hat! You can read that pattern here – Knit Flat Mushroom Bucket Hat for Adults. This hat can be made a number of ways, either as a wider brimmed sun hat with a flower, plain with the brim shaped similar to a cowboy/cowgirl hat, or with a narrower brim to be a bucket hat. Any way you choose is going to be a success! It’s easy to make, and as long as you know the basics of crochet. Literally if you know how to chain, single crochet (sc) and do a slip stitch (sl st), you’ll be able to make the hat. The flower can be a bit more tricky but I’ve included many photos and detailed descriptions to help you along. The hat is made with 2 strands worsted weight yarn (or one strand of super bulky yarn) and a larger crochet hook. The stitches need to be fairly tight so the hat will hold it’s shape. Anything larger than the gauge given will make it floppy and the sizing may not work out as written. But, like all my patterns, play with it! If you want a floppy hat, no one said you can’t. There aren’t any specific measurements for the hat sizing. It’s all very general as there is some stretch to the hat when finished and will form to fit the head it’s covering. If you want your hat to fit a little looser, go for the bigger size. The way I thought of it when I was designing this hat, if it fit the glass head, it’s a small/medium size. In other words, a regular sized head. If it fits me and looks a little too big on the glass head, it’s a large/extra large. Let me put it this way. I know I have a big head. If you have ever thought you too might have a big head because hats don’t always fit you, hello fellow large head! If this statement makes no sense to you, go for the small/medium. If you are looking to make the flower and the leaves, they each have their own page on the website. This pattern turned into a bit of a beast as it is. Both patterns are included with the printable PDF version of the sun and bucket hat.

Easy Scrap Yarn Bobble Beanie Free Knitting Pattern
This easy bobble beanie knitting pattern is the perfect scrap yarn project for using up leftover yarn from bigger knits instead of letting it sit forgotten in a basket or closet forever. Knit flat on straight needles, this cozy winter hat can be made in sizes from children to adults and is a fun way to mix colours and create unique combinations with your yarn stash. No two hats ever turn out the same. These scrap yarn beanies are great for gifting, craft sales, or charity knitting because they use yarn you already have on hand, making them an affordable and practical knit. And before anyone says itβ¦ no, you wonβt be stuck weaving in a million yarn ends afterward. I made a tutorial showing how I work in yarn ends while knitting so theyβre caught automatically as you go. If done correctly, there are only 2 ends left to sew in when the hat is finished – the cast on end and the end used to sew the seam. You can watch the full tutorial below. https://youtu.be/1_zF6HAzsfY If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can buy it from including online at KweenBee on Shopify, Etsy, Ravelry and Buy Me A Coffee. I also have the paperback booklet and Kindle versions available on Amazon. Links coming soon! Donβt forget to share this pattern with anyone you think may like it on your social media accounts. Itβs free for everyone to use and itβs a great way to support my work without paying a single cent. I even included the handy share button right here ππΌ This isn’t my first winter hat I’ve designed. It’s have many more including a crocheted version. Clicking any of the photos below will take you right to the FREE pattern to make it. Make it in crochet. Fits everyone! And has a full how to video.

4 Row LatticeΒ Dishcloth and Coasters – FREE Knitting Pattern
I wanted an easy knit dishcloth pattern that works up quickly, is simple to follow, and has a clean, textured look. This knit dishcloth is worked flat on straight needles using a 4 row repeat thatβs easy to memorize and relaxing to knit. This beginner-friendly knit dishcloth and coaster pattern is perfect for confident new knitters and anyone looking for a quick knitting project. The repetitive stitch pattern keeps it easy to do while creating a textured dishcloth that looks more detailed than it is. This pattern plays nicely with whatever size youβre in the mood for. Keep it small and youβve got a tidy little coaster or a handy kitchen scrubby. Let it grow with more repeats of the four rows and it stretches into a scarf with a really satisfying texture. Tweak it, resize it, make it yoursβ¦ just keep one rule in your back pocket: when you cast on, it always needs to be an odd number. If you are loving this pattern, please share it with your friends! It’s one of the easiest ways you can support my work and encourage future free patterns that anyone can make. Because the pattern is so short, it’s not for sale in any of my usual places. If you support my work on Buy Me a Coffee, I added it there for you as a bonus here – 4 Row Lattice Dishcloth and Coasters. I listed it at the regular price for my patterns but TBH there really is no reason for anyone to buy this one. It’s 4 rows.

Set of single pointed needles (see note on sizing) Stitch holder Tapestry needle to sew the seams and work in ends Cable needle Sizing Like my other fingerless gloves I’ve designed such as my owl fingerless gloves, I use the size of the needles to change the size of the mitt. This keeps the proportion of the design consistent to the size of the mitten. My standard for sizing was my hand and designed the knitting pattern according to what kind of rubber gloves fit me comfortably. I wear a medium sized rubber glove and the medium sized glove fits perfectly. You may need to use different sized needles to get the correct gauge.

It’s free for everyone to use and it’s a great way to support my work without paying a single cent. I even included the handy share button right here ππΌ This pattern is inspired by 3 patterns that I previously wrote. I’m in a habit of combining different elements of my patterns together to make a completely new thing. This is a bringing together of my Easiest Beanie You’ll Ever Knit, Autumn Leaf Fingerless Gloves, and my Autumn Leaf Winter Beanie Hat. You can see by the photos below, how the elements have come together. I’m also thinking of remaking the fingerless gloves to mitts that will match and a scarf, but those will be a while in coming. Let me know if you’d like me to get on that ASAP. Clicking on any of the pics will take you to the pattern π Things you need Worsted weight (AKA β 4 or medium) yarn β one standard ball (515 yards / 471 m) will be more than enough with yarn left over. 1 set of size 4 mm (US size 6) single pointed needles Cable needle Tapestry needle (to work in ends) Bobble or pom pom of your choice. You can make or purchase one. Gauge With size 4 mm (US size 6) needles or whatever size you need to obtain the correct number of stitches and rows. Be sure to check your gauge. It doesn’t need to be exact but the closer the better. In garter st 17 sts = 4 inches or 10 cm 34 rows = 4 inches or 10 cm Sizing Notes First things first: letβs figure out how big to make the hat. When youβre going by age and gender, the measurements are only approximate β especially for kids. Adult sizes are more standardized: small, medium, large, and extra large. If the personβs head is handy, measuring it directly is always best. That said, knitting isnβt an exact science. It stretches and contracts as needed, especially with the garter stitch inside that this ear warmer uses. Child Sizing Data is based on World Health Organization and pediatric growth standards. You can also do an online search for sizing if you believe it to be inaccurate. Other organizations located in the USA, UK, etc give sizes as being slightly larger. A gentle reminder that this is knitting and it does stretch to accommodate close measurements. Close IS usually good enough in this case. This design is for children (5 ish) and older. The band is wide-ish and a heads any smaller than 20 inches (51 cm) will be too wide to fit comfortably on the forehead. Adult Sizing Small/Medium – 21 to 22 inches (53.5 β 56 cm) Large/Extra Large – 23 to 24 inches (57 β 61 cm) Band The band can be made as long as you like. It is what goes around the circumference of the head. Each leaf, when matching the gauge as given, is about 2.25 to 2.5 inches (5.71 to 6.35 cm) long. I found 8 leaves were a good length for a small/medium adult hat with 9 leaves fitting large/ex-large adult heads. Adjust accordingly for smaller sizes.

Things You Will Need Size 4 mm (size 6 US) single point knitting needles 1 ball of crochet cotton yarn (the 1.5 oz balls are more than enough) Darning needle to work in the ends Size 3.5 mm (size 4 US) crochet hook (for edging. You may need larger or smaller depending on your tension) Gauge It’s not really important for a project like this. If you have larger needles it will make a bigger dishcloth or coaster that has a looser knit. A smaller needle gives a tighter knit and smaller coasters and washcloths. The pattern is written as such: Coaster (Dishcloth) The Pattern Cast on 18 (40) Row 1 β 4: K across Row 5: K2 P1 K12 (34) P1 K2 Row 6: K3 P12 (34) K3 β₯ Row 7: K2 P1 *sl the next st as if to P, K1, YO, PSSO the over the 2 sts * Repeat from * to * 5 (16) times more.

More of My Stuff On Etsy Edging To make things as easy as possible, I’ve added the video I made demonstrating how to do this technique: Backwards Crochet Edge for Knitting – Straight Edges for Sweaters, Shawls, Scarves Dishcloths & more. It’s basically a backwards single crochet (BC) that creates a more ropey kind of look. https://youtu.be/TinUbvKIgus You may have to play around a bit with the size of hook that’s going to work the best for you. For me, based on my tension for knitting the dishcloth and tension for how I crochet, a 3.5 mm crochet hook worked best. Row 1: With right side facing, and in the last cast off stitch, BC (backwards single crochet) around edge. BC in every 2nd cast off stitch along the top and every 2nd cast on st (twist) along the bottom edge. BC in every other row (ridge) along the sides. Join to the start of the row. Work in ends. I found there is enough slack that you don’t need multiple stitches in the corner. Hints and Tips If you want to make the coaster or dishcloth larger, cast on more sts. To keep it square, cast on 4 extra sts and work the repeat of the pattern one time for each additional 4 sts. If square doesn’t matter to you, then do what you wish. You can also drop the K2 P1 and P1 K2 at the ends of the rows and the garter st that starts and ends the pattern. Add a single K st on each end (right side) and P st on each end (wrong side). This edge will give a bit of an allowance to work with, if you want to do an edging or sew a seam. Like all dishcloths, you could easily make this into a scarf. Do as many repeats of the st pattern as you like. The how-to video changes the colour of the edging. If you prefer this look instead of a solid colour, break the yarn and start with the new colour. Abbreviations K – Knit P – Purl sl – Slip the next stitch, without working it, onto your working needle. YOΒ – Yarn Over. Pull the yarn under and then over your needle. The yarn will form an extra stitch on your needle. PSSO – pass the slipped stitch over BC – Backwards single crochet Like all of my patterns you have my permission to sell and/or give away the physical items that you make using this pattern. You are NOT permitted to reprint this pattern in any form unless you have obtained my written permission to do so.

Winter Headbands – FREE Knit Flat Knitting Patterns
Knit a simple headband or ear warmer. Perfect for new knitters, the simple version uses very basic stitches and include how-to videos to show you how to knit 2 stitches together and make one (make an increase). It’s very plain and great for those who want a practical and thinner ear warmer to wear under something like a hoodie or a hard hat. I’m looking at you patch and construction workers π If you want something a little fancier, I have the same basic headband but with a cable top edging. It can add a bit of a crown-like feature if you are anything but basic. It still has a fairly flat profile so can be worn under other hoods if necessary. Regardless of which style you choose to make, they are both very quick projects. Made with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn, they work up fast. Great for a last minute gift and perfect to sell at craft fairs and online and IRL markets. The pattern is very repetitive and I’ve written out the rows as necessary. You can place stitch markers, like the ones shown in the plain headband demo photo, to help keep track of rows and the increase and decrease sections. Theyβre helpful, but not required. Not a fan of reading things online or would like to print this pattern? You can download the ad free PDF version of this pattern from my Shopify shop, from Buy Me A Coffee or from my Etsy Shop. If you shop on Amazon I also have the Kindle and paperback versions. Love the pattern and want to let other people know about it? I’ve added these super easy share buttons. Simply tap and share anywhere you are on social media. Things You Need You can make the mittens with either 2 strands of worsted weight yarn, or one strand of super bulky yarn. Take your pick. But please note, you don’t need both. Choose one or the other. Worsted weight yarn β 2 (two) balls of yarn (215 yards/197 m). You’ll have leftover yarn. or Super Bulky yarn β (186 yards/170 m) like Bernat or Lion brand. Not all super bulky yarn is as thick as others. A Bulkyyarn may also work if it’s on the thicker side. As long as your gauge is the same your sizing will be accurate. 5 mm (8 US) knitting needles Cable needle Tapestry needle β to sew seams and work in ends Stitch markers – optional Gauge In garter stitch 16 stitches every 4 inches (10 cm) 26 rows every 4 inches (10 cm) Sizes are written as such: sm/m (lg/xlg) 20 – 21 inches (22-24 inches) Simple Style Headband If you need help with K2tog or M1, there are videos in the Abbreviations section to show you how.

Diamonds Dishcloth and Coasters β FREE Knitting Pattern
The dishcloth obsession continues, though I am getting a bit weary of these. Time to get around to making more art pieces. So I’m providing this in two sizes – roughly 7 inches square and 8 inches square. The smaller size seemed almost a smidgen too small but the larger one seemed a bit larger than I would like. I suppose it could have easily been fixed with changing needle sizes but I figured I’d let others deal with that. With that said, this knitting pattern is written accordingly. The larger size repeat counts are in brackets. I also updated this version and added the stitch counts to make the coaster. It’s important to note that for this specific knitting pattern, odd rows are NOT the right side of your work. The dropping and picking up stitches happens on what would be usually considered the WRONG side or all even rows. So in short, the right side of your work is all the EVEN rows. Also, I’ve included a bunch of photos to help you along with YO, dropping stitches, slipping stitches and making the crossed over stitches. The YO, slipping and dropping stitches are standard stitches and if you’re an experienced knitter, you probably won’t need the photos. I’ve included the photos as you go along in the pattern, but if you already feel comfortable with these stitches, the pattern is also written without the photos further down the post here – the pattern without the photos. If you would like to print this pattern or read it without the ads, there are a few options. You can buy it from my Shopify shop here – Diamonds Dishcloth and Coaster Printable Knitting Pattern, or purchase it from my Etsy shop, Buy Me A Coffee or for your Kindle and as a paperback from Amazon.

For me, based on my tension for knitting the dishcloth and tension for how I crochet, a 3.75 mm crochet hook worked best.

Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat – Free Two Needle Knit Flat Pattern
Knit flat on 2 straight needles, the Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat is worked in an unconventional way that sets it apart from a traditional beanie. This is not a beginner pattern, but for knitters ready for a rewarding challenge, the journey is well worth it. The construction unfolds gradually, with cables forming flowing stems and sculpted leaves emerging as you work. If the shaping feels unexpected at first, trust the process. Each step builds toward a warm, fitted hood-style beanie with striking texture and depth. Clear photos and step by step video tutorials guide you through the cabling and leaf techniques, giving you the support you need as the design comes together into something truly distinctive. If you love the leaf design but would prefer a more traditional beanie shape to your hat, you can take a peak at this pattern. It’s my Autumn Leaf Winter Beanie Hat β FREE Knitting Pattern. There is also a similar hat I designed but the leaves are a standard cable pattern. It’s called Woodland Wanderer Knit Hat β FREE Knitting Pattern Not a fan of reading things online or would like to print this pattern?

If you want a smaller child size, make less leaves, and pick up less stitches when making the hat top. If larger, make an extra leaf and pick up more stitches.Β Cast on 19 Row 1: K4 P9 K5 P1 Row 2: K1 P4 C1B K8 P4 Row 3: C4F P7 C1B P1 C4B P1 β₯ Row 4: K1 P4 K2 C1B K6 P4 Row 5: K4 P4 P2tog M1 K1 M1 P3 K4 P1 (the photos show the second M1 in this row).

FREE Knitting Pattern – Cable Fingerless Gloves
The season is getting colder again, the few apples on my trees are turning red and my mind turns back towards knitting. And oh boy, am I coming up with a bunch of knitting designs! Now here’s to finding the time to publish them all. Work is also back to full-time so that’s great news ? A couple of things about this knitting pattern before we grab our favourite worsted weight yarn, double pointed and cable needles and get to work. Like my Owl Fingerless Gloves pattern, I am keeping the stitch count the same and only changing the needles size to change the size of the glove. The pattern on the back of the hand stays proportional in size and placement on the glove remains the same for a better overall look. I made a number of different lengths of the glove too, for demonstrative purposes. The taupe with flecks (apparently it’s also known as tweed, who knew) is the pattern exactly as written. I repeated the cable pattern once for the grey pair and 4 times for the purple tweed/flecked. There’s a note in the pattern what rows make up the 5 plait cable pattern. Why do 3 cables when you can do 5? I’ve always been a bit of an overachiever. The downloadable PDF version is completed and uploaded it to all my distributors. You can find it on the following fine and upstanding websites – Etsy, Ravelry, LoveCrafts and in my Shopify shop. If you don’t want or can’t afford to give anything. I get it. You can give a shoutout or share on your social media instead. It’s free to do and will only take you a minute. Handy links are below Want other knitted mitten patterns that are for texting or cover the ends of your fingers? I have those too. You can check out my How to Knit Texting Mittens and How to Knit Flip Mitts. And for those who actually take the time to read these long-winded introβs, I also have β How to Knit Fingerless Gloves. It uses finer yarn, smaller needles and is sized with different stitch and row counts. It is very plain Jane and it’s the yarn that makes this one pop. Ok. Enough of that. Let’s get knitting!!! Things you will need: worsted weight yarnΒ – I usedΒ Red Heart worsted weight (AKA size 4 or 8 ply) yarnΒ when designing the pattern but any kind will do. Set of 4 double pointed needles (see note on sizing) Stitch holder Tapestry needleΒ to sew the hole by the thumb and work in ends Cable needle A Note on Sizing: As I mentioned previously, the sizing for this pattern is done a little differently. Instead of different stitch counts which I normally do, I’m changing the size of the needles. Chances are good that if you know how to knit in the round, you already have these size needles anyways. If not, it’s a good excuse to go to your favourite yarn store to pick up the needles you’ll need. And since you’re there, check out the yarn sales. You’d be foolish not to. My standard for sizing was my hand and designed the knitting pattern according to what kind of rubber gloves fit me comfortably. I wear a medium sized rubber glove and the medium sized glove fits perfectly. You may need to use different sized needles to get the correct gauge, but this pattern is very forgiving if you’re a bit off. Small size 4 mm (US size 6) dpn 10 stitches every 2 inches (5 cm) 13 rows every 2 inches (5 cm) Medium size 5 mm (US size 8) dpn 9 stitches every 2 inches (5 cm) 12 rows every 2 inches (5 cm) Large size 6 mm (US size 10) dpn 8 stitches every 2 inches (5 cm) 11 rows every 2 inches (5 cm) Left Hand Cast on 36 Row 1-8: K1 P1 around Row 9: K4 P1 K15 P1 K15 Row 10: K4 P1 C6F twice.

Autumn LeafΒ Winter Beanie Hat – FREE Knitting Pattern
This beanie is not worked using standard hat construction. Instead, itβs intentionally designed to unfold in a different way, allowing the cables, shaping, and fit to develop gradually as you knit. If the construction feels unusual at first, thatβs okay. Follow the instructions, trust the process, and keep going. Once all the steps come together, the design reveals itself as a warm, well-fitted cable knit beanie with a comfortable double-thick brim that adds both structure and extra insulation. If you need help with sts, check the Abbreviations section. I’ve included descriptions of how to make them and embedded videos where I could. Scroll down the page or use the Table of Contents. If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can buy it from including my online KweenBee on Shopify, Etsy, and Buy Me A Coffee. I also have the paperback booklet and Kindle versions available on Amazon. Don’t forget to share this pattern with anyone you think may like it on your social media accounts. It’s free for everyone to use and it’s a great way to support my work without paying a single cent. I even included the handy share button right here ππΌ This pattern is inspired by 3 patterns that I previously wrote. I’m in a habit of combining different elements of my patterns together to make a completely new thing. This is a bringing together of my Easiest Beanie You’ll Ever Knit, Autumn Leaf Fingerless Gloves, and my Cozy Cable Brim Bobble Beanie. You can see by the photos below, how the elements have come together. Clicking on any of the pics will take you to the pattern π I also wrote another hat pattern with the leaf pattern after I published this one. You can see my Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat by tapping the photo below. I’m currently working on a headband with the same leaf motif. Hopefully that will get done soon. I’m also thinking of remaking the fingerless gloves to mitts that will match and a scarf. But those will be a while in coming. Things you need Worsted weight (AKA β 4 or medium) yarn β one standard ball (515 yards / 471 m) will be more than enough with yarn left over. 1 set of size 4 mm (US size 6) single pointed needles Cable needle Tapestry needle (to work in ends) Bobble or pom pom of your choice. You can make or purchase one. Gauge With size 4 mm (US size 6) needles or whatever size you need to obtain the correct number of stitches and rows. Be sure to check your gauge. It doesn’t need to be exact but the closer the better. In garter st 17 sts = 4 inches or 10 cm 34 rows = 4 inches or 10 cm Sizing Notes First things first: letβs figure out how big to make the hat. When youβre going by age and gender, the measurements are only approximate β especially for kids. Adult sizes are more standardized: small, medium, large, and extra large. If the personβs head is handy, measuring it directly is always best. That said, knitting isnβt an exact science. It stretches and contracts as needed, especially with the garter stitch inside the brim this hat uses. Child Sizing Data is based on World Health Organization and pediatric growth standards. You can also do an online search for sizing if you believe it to be inaccurate. Other organizations located in the USA, UK, etc give sizes as being slightly larger. A gentle reminder that this is knitting and it does stretch to accommodate close measurements. Close IS usually good enough in this case. This design is for children (5 ish) and older. The band around the brim is quite thick and a heads any smaller than 20 inches (51 cm) will be too wide to fit comfortably on the forehead. Adult Sizing Small/Medium – 21 to 22 inches (53.5 β 56 cm) Large/Extra Large – 23 to 24 inches (57 β 61 cm) Band The band can be made as long as you like. It is what goes around the circumference of the head and naturally folds back on itself at the purl line between the garter section and cable portion. Each leaf, when matching the gauge as given, is about 2.25 inches (5.75 cm long). I found 9 leaves were a good length for a small/medium adult hat with 10 leaves fitting large/ex-large adult heads. Adjust accordingly for smaller sizes.

This pattern was designed and written quickly and was not test-knit. Please be kind if you spot mistakes, and feel free to adapt as needed. Keep warm. Keep safe. Rise up. Never stop. If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can get it from including my online Ravelry and Buy Me A Coffee. You can also download it right here: Read the pattern onlineDownload Please share this page with as many like minded individuals as you can. You can use these share icons below. Things You Need 2 colours of worsted weight (AKA β 4, medium, or 10 ply) yarn β standard 5 oz (141 gram) balls will work. Please note: pom-pom will require more yarn than estimate given. Size 5 mm (US size 8) single point knitting needles or whatever size you need to acquire the correct gauge. Tapestry needle β Sew seams and work in ends. Gauge In stockinette 23 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) 17 sts = 4 inches (10 cm) Sizing Notes One size fits most adults. There are no child sizes given for this pattern. The Band Cast on 27 β¦ Row 1: K across Row 2: K3 P11 K3 P1 K9 β¦ Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 6 times total if making βF*CK ICE + TRUMPβ. (6 + 35 + 4 + 21 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 41 + 6 = 127 rows) ** Make more rows before starting the lettering to make the seam centred in the back if making other combinations: Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 34 times total if making βF*CK ICEβ. (34 + 35 + 4 + 21 + 34 = 128 rows) Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 24 times total if making βF*CK TRUMPβ. (24 + 35 + 4 + 41 + 24 = 128 rows) Following the given pattern for the rows, the lettering is made in the 11 st stockinette section. Start the lettering with the right side of the stockinette facing you (I added in one extra row of red in the charts to show the design.) When making the βFβ in the 11 st stockinette section, knit the first st in red, then knit 9 sts in white, 1 st in red, continue with the pattern. There are 2 rows between letters and 4 rows between words. I don’t have any advice or help to offer on how to make intarsia or colour work. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that can help you with this. The band is made sideways. You start at the edge of the βFβ and work your way up. If you need to fix a mistake, you’ll have less to take apart when made like this. If making βF*CK ICE + TRUMPβ repeat row 2 one more time so you end with the right side facing you. Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 6 times total if making βF*CK ICE + TRUMPβ. Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 34 times total if making βF*CK ICEβ. Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 24 times total if making βF*CK TRUMPβ Cast off all sts. Band complete. Hat Top With the RIGHT side of the hat facing you (the garter stitches at the top), pick up stitches along the edge. Pick up one stitch in the nub of each garter “ridge”, and for every group of five stitches picked up, pick up an extra stitch between the nubs. If you need a little help with picking up the stitches, the video is cued up to the right spot in the video to help you out by clicking this link How to Pick up stitches on the Easy Beanie https://youtu.be/O3GLJXrP8js?si=d8Mj5TiESPte0Riz&t=114 Work your way down the length picking up a st in every 5 nubs, and picking up a st between the nubs. Knit whatever remaining sts remain after picking up between the ridge nubs (ie 4, 3, 2 or 1 st). The number of sts picked up will be about 76 sts. The number isn’t overly important as long as you’re close. It’s still just knitting and stretches, after all. β₯ Next row: Knit across Next row: Purl across β₯ Repeat from β₯ to β₯ for 7 inches or longer. The measurement includes the stockinette AND the garter sections before the purl line where the natural fold occurs. βͺ Next row: K2tog across. Knit any single remaining sts. Next row: Purl across Next row: Knit across Next row: Purl across. βͺ Repeat from βͺ to βͺ until you have 12 sts or less. End when you complete the K2tog row with the correct number of sts. Break the yarn. Leave a length of yarn long enough to sew the seam. Draw through all remaining sts. Sew seam. Hints and Tips The β U β is also in the word Trump if you would like the replace the β * β in f*ck. Just saying is all. The U is 4 rows shorter than the asterisk but 4 rows shouldn’t make much difference to how it fits. Think of picking up the sts as this math equation. For every 5 sts you need one extra st. So for as many groups of 5 “ridges” you have of garter st for the band, that’s how many extra sts you need to pick up evenly. If you need a larger hat, make the band longer on each end. Pick up more sts to make the top, but still one extra for every 5, and make the stockinette portion for the top longer. If you want to make the hat more floppy on the top, have at it. Make it longer than what is given. Changing colours to make the lettering can leave holes if not done correctly. I’m good at a lot of things but intarsia is not one of them. Do your best. My beanie isn’t my best work either but Read more

Cozy Cable Bobble Beanie – FREE Knitting Pattern
I first came up with this cable while designing another hat, my Woodland Wanderer Cable Hat. That design actually started as a riff on a pair of slippers, then wandered its way into a couple of headbands too. One idea tends to lead to another around here. I eventually realized that not everyone loves winter headbands. Some people are firmly in the winter hat or toque camp. I already had a super easy winter hat pattern, so it only made sense to bring the cable and the hat together. And voilΓ ! Thatβs how my cozy cable bobble hat came to be. Iβve kept this pattern very basic, which makes it a great choice if youβve never tried cables before and want to learn. To make things even easier, Iβve included links and QR codes in the Abbreviations section to helpful how-to videos that walk you through anything you might need a little extra guidance on. If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can buy it from including my online KweenBee on Shopify, Etsy, Ravelry, and Buy Me A Coffee. I also have the paperback booklet and Kindle versions available on Amazon. Loving the patterns and want to support my work but don’t want to become a member. That’s cool with me! I totally get it. If you still want to help, please share this pattern with your friends and family you think may enjoy making it. Use the handy buttons below to share on social media or send it to them directly, If you have discovered a new love for cables, I’ve got you covered! Click any of the photos below to start on any of my other free cable patterns I have on this website. Taupe Fingerless Gloves free knitting pattern – cable knit slippers Things you need Worsted weight (AKA β 4 or medium) yarn β one standard ball (515 yards / 471 m) will be more than enough with yarn left over. 1 set of size 4 mm (US size 6) single pointed needles Cable needle Tapestry needle (to work in ends) Bobble or pom pom of your choice. You can make or purchase one. Sizing Notes First things first: letβs figure out how big to make the hat. When youβre going by age and gender, the measurements are only approximate β especially for kids. Adult sizes are more standardized: small, medium, large, and extra large. If the personβs head is handy, measuring it directly is always best. That said, knitting isnβt an exact science. It stretches and contracts as needed, especially with the garter stitch inside the brim this hat uses. Gauge With size 4 mm (US size 6) needles or whatever size you need to obtain the correct number of stitches and rows. Be sure to check your gauge. It doesn’t need to be exact but the closer the better. In garter st 17 sts = 4 inches or 10 cm 34 rows = 4 inches or 10 cm Child Sizing Data is based on World Health Organization and pediatric growth standards. You can also do an online search for sizing if you believe it to be inaccurate. Other organizations located in the USA, UK, etc give sizes as being slightly larger. A gentle reminder that this is knitting and it does stretch to accommodate close measurements. Close IS usually good enough in this case. This design is for children (5 ish) and older. The band around the brim is quite thick and a heads any smaller than 20 inches (51 cm) will be too wide to fit comfortably on the forehead. Adult Sizing Small/Medium – 21 to 22 inches (53.5 β 56 cm) Large/Extra Large – 23 to 24 inches (57 β 61 cm) Band Cast on 31 Row 1: K8 P2 K4 P2 K9 P2 K4 Row 2 (and all EVEN rows): P4 K2 P9 K2 P4 K10 * Row 3: K8 P2 C4F P2 C6F K3 P2 C4B Row 5: as row 1 Row 7: K8 P2 C4F P2 K3 C6B P2 C4B Row 9: as row 1 Row 10: as row 2 * Repeat from * to * until desired length shown in the chart.
