Super Chunky yarn for the win! In the whirlwind of our busy days, finding a moment to knit something beautiful for yourself, a cherished friend, or a beloved family member might seem to slip through our fingers. But I promise you, casting on this gem will be a pure delight to knit, feel, wear, or gift. You can have a new favorite in one day!
The Isis Beanie was inspired by a dear friend, Isis, who has always encouraged me to press forward, no matter the challenges. Her unwavering support and love are woven into every stitch of this beanie. The design features a captivating lateral braid that gracefully adorns the edge, symbolizing the intertwined nature of our love for knitting and the strength of our connections. The body of the beanie showcases a beautiful twisted knit stitch, creating a lush, textured fabric that is both visually stunning and irresistibly cozy.
This beanie is more than just a project; it’s a cozy embrace for you or your loved ones. So, grab your needles, indulge in the sumptuous texture of Super Chunky yarn, and let the magic of knitting fill your heart with warmth and joy. As you work through each stitch, may you feel the encouragement and love that inspired this pattern, just as Isis has inspired me.
Yarn
Super Bulky (6-weight yarn), 100% Acrylic Yarn
100 grams or 90 yards
Sample knitted in Ringspun™ Yarn by Loops & Threads, Color Rose

Needles
5.5 mm/US Size 9 circular needle with 16”/40 cm cable or Size 9 Double Pointed Needles (DPNs), or 32” cable for Magic Loop, or size required to obtain gauge.

Gauge
13 sts and 18 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in the twisted knit stitch. No blocking is necessary.

The gauge swatch should be knitted in the twisted knit stitch. You do this by knitting the back loop of the stitch, not the front loop as you would for a knit stitch. Knitting from the back loop will give the knit stitch a twist, creating the “twisted knit stitch.”
