Year-Round Beanie Knitted from Sock Yarn



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

For this feather-light year-round beanie, which is made with knitting needles in various sizes (the brim with size 3.5 needles, the main section with size 6.0 needles, the decreases with sizes 4.5 and 4.0) and with a crochet hook size 3.0–4.0 for the decoration, 70 g of 6-ply sock yarn is enough, though 1 skein usually contains 150 g.

So you can easily knit a small loop scarf or even 1 pair of socks up to shoe size 36/37 from the leftover yarn :-) . You can find a sock-knitting tutorial for 6-ply sock yarn here:
Socks knitted from 6-ply yarn with charts for all sizes

With colorful sock yarn, the respective color gradient—shown here—appears automatically.

You can find a loop scarf to match the hat here: Multi-function loop scarf/bolero/kidney warmer/shoulder warmer/hat scarf, knitted

A Touch of Something.. Reversible Loop/Cowl Hood - one size - easy to knit



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

“A Touch of Something..” – versatile to wear, e.g. as a reversible loop / cowl hood / shoulder warmer in one size – easy to knit.

The PDF pattern includes images from the image gallery.

These basic knitting skills are enough:
cast on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knit 2 stitches together, increase 1 stitch,
knitting in the round, binding off.

Material:
Used here: just under 50 g Austermann Kid Silk (75% kid mohair, 25% silk 25 g/225 m yardage (hand wash) needle size 3–4;
used here: circular knitting needle size 3.5, stitch marker, yarn needle for weaving in ends, measuring tape, scissors.

For knitting beginners, I recommend appropriately thin (lace) yarns without mohair. These also usually result in a very lightweight knitted piece.

Calculation aids for gauge and more are available to choose from in my collection: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/users/view_collection/1205/Tabellen-Berechnungshilfen

Knitted Hat 'Cablé': 2 knitting methods: in the round and in rows



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

There are wonderful faux fur pompoms, as you can see :-)

.. looks like a cable pattern, but it isn’t one. You don’t need a cable needle for this :-).

Hats don’t necessarily have to be knitted in the round; below I have described both hat-knitting methods, both in the round and in rows .
Difficulty level: easy to medium for beginners, easy for experienced knitters.

The pattern is illustrated, but it does require basic knitting knowledge. Links and tips for learning to knit and crochet are available on my website.

By the way, the pattern can easily be adapted to any head size by knitting fewer or more stitches in the purl-knitted section.

The hat made with this material is a true lightweight:

100 g (= 2 balls of 50 g each) Rico Creative Melange Chunky, 53% virgin wool, 47% acrylic, 50 g = 90 m yardage, gauge according to the label: 14 stitches x 19 rows = 10 x 10 cm, according to the label: knitting needle 6 - 7, used here: circular knitting needle size 6.0

a)         if knitted in the round: with a cable length of 40 cm,
            a 60 cm cable length pulls a bit at the beginning of knitting, but can also be used;
            stitch marker

b)         if knitted in rows, the cable length doesn’t matter; it could then also be knitted with
            straight knitting needles;

yarn needle for weaving in ends, measuring tape, scissors.

Simple Cable Pattern Knit Hat 'Killary'


(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This pattern for head circumference 53 cm to 56 cm includes the photos from the image gallery. The hat is knitted in the round.

Basic knitting skills are sufficient.

The nice thing about the pattern used here is that for smaller/larger head circumferences, fewer or more stitches can be knitted in the “ribbing area,” so the model can be adjusted to any head size.

We need:

100 g Fila Doro Killary or Schulana Donegal Tweed, gauge according to the ball band: 16 sts x 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm, 95% virgin wool, 5% cashmere, 50 g = 95 m yardage, -knitting needle 4.5–5.5,

used here: circular knitting needle size 5.0 with 40 cm cable length (60 cm cable length is a little tight at the beginning of the knitting, but can also be used); stitch marker, cable needle, yarn needle for weaving in ends, measuring tape, scissors.

Knitted multifunctional loop, bolero, kidney warmer, shoulder warmer, hat scarf


(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This versatile loop, which can be worn in many ways (wrapped 2 times around the neck), is knitted in rounds from 6-ply sock yarn in the same yarn as the “All-Season Beanie.”

The pattern is illustrated, but it is not a basic knitting course. General knitting knowledge is sufficient.

Required materials:

150 g 6-ply sock yarn, here Austermann Sockenwolle Step 6 (= 6-ply) with aloe vera and jojoba oil, (75% virgin wool, 25% acrylic, 150 g = 375 m yardage, according to the ball band knitting needles 3–4; gauge according to the ball band: 23 sts x 31 rows = 10 x 10 cm), stitch marker, tape measure, scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends.

Used here: circular knitting needle 6.0 (cable length at least 80 cm, more comfortable: 100 cm).

By the way: in sizes L–XL, the “bolero” fits in such a way that it can also be described as a “kidney warmer.” For smaller clothing sizes, this area hangs in a fashionably casual way.
The hat scarf does not fully cover the back of the head; this lets long hair show to fashionable advantage.
