Hum Beanie

Three Birds Yarn Studio
The Hum Beanie has a flowy texture that is made up of right twisted stitches. I thought the design resembled little hummingbird wings, hence the name ‘Hum Beanie.’ It’s currently September here in Illinois and I’ve been slightly obsessed with watching the Hummingbirds in my yard. They’re so cute!
This pattern is written for 3 weights of yarn (worsted, bulky, and super bulky). You will see that I separated the instructions for each weight under each pattern section. Just follow along to the corresponding instructions for your weight. I’ve added quite a few yarn suggestions, but feel free to check gauge for other yarns of your choice. Lastly, I added a link to my video tutorial for the Right Twist (RT).
