GETTING STARTED
Grid Pattern
Row 1 – 4: ** work moss st
Row 5 – 14: *K10, 5 moss st rep
from * to end of row.
Rep from **
These 14 rows form gird pattern.

Moss.st
Row 1: K1, P1 rep until end of row.
Row 2: P1, K1 rep until end of row.
These two rows are rep so K st goes
over P st and P goes over K st.

KNITTING ON CIRCULAR NEEDLES
& DOUBLE-POINTED NEEDLES
When knitting beanie and wrist
warmers on circ needle/double-
pointed needles (DPNS) you have no
seams to sew together at the end of
work.

To knit st st on a circ needle you only
make knit sts (No Purl sts) as you
always knit in the same direction, like
a spiral. This makes knitting very even,
easy and quick. The garments are
ready to wear as soon all loose ends
have been fastened!

KNITTING BEANIE & WRIST
WARMERS ON STRAIGHT NEEDLES
INSTEAD OF CIRCULAR NEEDLES
Beanie and wrist warmers can be
knitted on straight needles if you
prefer this. Just add 2 extra sts for
seams. With yarn sew beanie and wrist
warmers together in a backstitch.

WORKING PATTERN
FLOPPY BEANIE
With Mc cast on 100 sts with size
4.00mm circ needle (40 cm).
Close the loop to start knitting in the
round, which means that beg and end
of row is where first and last sts meet
(and where piece of yarn left from
casting on will be hanging down).
Make sure that all sts are hanging
down in the same direction, so edge is
not twisted!!
Work single rib 10 cm.
Change to st st (Note: St.st is only
Knit sts on circ needle).
On first row inc1 in every other sts so
there are 150 sts at end of row.
Work 3 rows moss st grid pattern for
beanie.
Rep from* until beanie measures 32
cm.
Next Row: dec every other st, so you
end up with 100 sts at end of row.
Work 1 row.
Next Row: dec1 in every st so there
are 50 sts left on needle.

MAKING UP
With a big sewing needle thread a
double piece of yarn through all the
sts left on needle and tie together with
a firm knot on the inside of beanie.
Fasten off all loose ends.
Fold up single rib once to wear.
