This cozy beanie is crocheted using the waistcoat stitch, which creates a solid, knit-like fabric, perfect for keeping you warm in winter. Its unique texture makes it ideal not only for incorporating Fair Isle designs, but also offers a clean, modern look that makes it perfect for men. You can make it in a solid color for a classic look or use self-striping yarn to create stunning stripes, as shown in the picture. Designed to be worked from the top down, it ensures a smooth, seamless finish without any bulk at the crown. The waistcoat stitch in the round forms a stunning whirl-like pattern at the top’ adding visual interest and charm. Available in sizes ranging from preemie to adult large, it’s a versatile and stylish accessory for everyone.

The pattern also includes basic instructions for incorporating a fair isle design and a few graphs. Instructions to create waistcoat stitch beanie that is not too stiff have also been included.

Pattern available is US as well as UK terms.
