The Coast to Coast Beanie is a new design that is part of a collaboration with an East Coast indie dyer (Wool & Wanderlust), who has created 4 colourways based on the East Coast (her home) and West Coast (my home) of Canada (hence the name)! It is a simple, classic folded brim beanie that could be worn in fall and winter, and with or without a pom pom! The hat is knit flat using garter stitch, with a I-cord edging, and seamed up the edges. This design is wonderful to showcase any worsted yarn, whether it is solid, tonal, variagated, or striped!

Sizes offered:
Adult Large (22-25 inch head circumference)
Adult Medium (19-23 inch head circumference)
Adult Small (18-22 inch head circumference)
Child (17-20 inch head circumference)
Toddler (16-19 inch head circumference)
6-12 M (14-17 inch head circumference)
3-6 M (12-15 inch head circumference)
Newborn (10-12 inch head circumference)

These sizes are given with their approximate head measurement range, please make sure to base your sizing off of the measurements, not the age range. Due to the stretchy nature of garter, I recommend choosing a size where you fall towards the upper end of the range to make sure the hat is appropriately snug.

Needles recommended:
5 mm / US 8 / UK 6 - can use straight or circular needles
May need other size needles to meet gauge

Gauge:
17 sts x 32 rows = 4 x 4 “ (10 x 10 cm), garter stitch, worked flat, unstretched

Yarn recommended:
One colour of worsted weight yarn (I used KnitPicks Swish worsted (110 yds/50g) for two of my protoypes, and the hand dyed yarn for the collaboration sample (220 yds/100g))

Kits are available from Wool & Wanderlust which include the skein of worsted yarn, the pattern, a faux fur pom pom and a cute little drawstring project bag for only $45 CAD!
