Darling Dots Beanie | PDF Knitting Pattern

Please note: This pattern comes in digital form. After the purchase is complete you'll be automatically emailed the PDF file/s to download.

The Darling Dots Beanie is a playful, stylish knit that is suitable for any occasion. Knitting in fingering weight wool gives you a beautifully warm beanie without the heaviness that can sometimes happen with thicker yarns.

Featuring a 2x2 ribbed turned-over cuff, lots of Darling Dots and finished with a pompom. The stranding across the back created by the colour work adds extra thickness to the fabric, keeping the biting winter winds out. There's a little bit of slouch in the beanie for a snugglier accessory.

Technique & Skill Level

This pattern includes two versions, one worked flat and the other in-the-round, so that you can knit however you love best. 

The round version is showcased using the magic loop method, but you can just as easily use double pointed needles if you prefer, without having to change anything.

The instructions are written in an easy to understand way, with helpful tips sprinkled throughout. The dot design is worked from a chart.
