Among the Pines Beanie

Grab your favorite worsted yarn and 6mm hook and make stunning beanies for the whole family! This pine tree beanie comes in 7 sizes so you can really customize them. It is a fitted beanie and I think you’ll really love the stitch pattern. I had more testers for this pattern than ever before and it was great to have so much support for the pattern right out of the gate!

I made a dishcloth for my mother-in-law this summer using a new to me stitch method and it was so fun! I knew I wanted to use the method for a design this season and the Among the Pines Beanie came to fruition! My first design idea had a really cute leaf pattern on it, but the lighter yarn made it look to springtime, so I scratched that and started over with some little pine trees. I chose Lion Brand Yarn Basic Stitch in two colors for my beanies. I love making hats to match with my kids. This yarn is a great basic acrylic and I like the colors available at my local Joann’s.

Let’s dive in a bit: you’ll need between 125 and 200 yards of worsted weight yarn. I find the Lion Brand Basic Stitch that I used to be a true worsted, not too thick or thin. Hook size ranges from 5mm to 6mm. I tend to tight tension and many of my testers met gauge with smaller hooks. You need other basic supplies like a measuring tape, tapestry needle, and scissors.

This pine tree beanie is an intermediate pattern. The cable stitches require some experience, but the PDF in my pattern shops has 3 pages of photo tutorial to help you along as well as a chart if you need more help. Look through the full written pattern below and see how that looks to you, then head over and get the PDF if you need it!
