Marathon Beanie


"This is a classic ribbed beanie with maximum stretch. If you survive the ribbing marathon, this beanie will become your next favorite accessory. This pattern is knit flat and seamed to finish. But intermediate knitters could easily adapt the pattern to be knit in the round. Two skeins of the recommended yarn should be plenty for knitting the larger size. The recommended needle size may seem small compared to the yarn weight, but that’s intentional. This ensures neat rib columns and prevents gaps."
