Boyfriend Beanie LAMB yarn
This beanie was inspired by the einrúm Boyfriend Sweater and is reversible like all our Boyfriend designs.
The beanie is worked in the round from the bottom up. After the wide bottom rib, it is worked in stocking stitch with purl ridges at each side that run up the crown of the head, meeting at the top. The beanie can be worn with either the knit or the purl side out.
For this version, we used einrúm LAMB yarn held double. The yarn is an almost unspun merino wool yarn plied together with fine strands of silk. You will need a total of approx. 50 g. Use different coloured scraps like we did for a marled look.
