Composition
The Terra Beanie is a lovely beanie that fits nicely, thanks to the ribbed hem.

The beanie features a beautifully soft color change as you swap out the mohair thread at the transition from the ribbed hem to the stockinette stitch pattern. You can also knit your beanie in a single color. It can be worn with either the right or the wrong side facing outward.

Size
One size

Finished measurements
Fits a head circumference of approx. 54 – 60 cm

Material
50 g Isager Tweed, 200 m/ 50 g or 50 g Alpaca 1, 400 m/50 g (held double) from Isager Yarn held together with, e.g., Silk Mohair 212 m/25 g from Isager Yarn.

The beanie in the picture is knitted with one strand of Isager Tweed, sand, and silk mohair in colors 6 (ribbed hem) and 34 (stockinette stitch part). One ball of mohair (25 g) is enough to knit a one-colored beanie.

You can choose any other yarn if you obtain the correct gauge.

Recommended needles
The beanie’s ribbed hem is knit on a circular needle of 4 mm (40-80 cm), and the stockinette stitch part is on a 4,5 mm (40-80 cm). When reaching the beanie’s top with decreases, change to a 80 cm circular needle and knit using the magic loop method. I recommend using the magic loop technique for the whole project.

Gauge
The beanie’s ribbed hem is worked in rib (k 1, p 1) in the round on a 4 mm needle. The rest of the beanie is stockinette stitch, worked on a 4,5 mm needle.

Gauge for rib on needle 4 mm: approx. 23 sts x 33 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Gauge for stockinette stitch on needle 4,5 mm: approx. 19 sts x 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
