A Stegosaurus themed beanie for any little dinosaur lovers. Requires 3 different yarns, using less than 1, 50 gram ball of each (assuming 50 g equals 120m).
The band is ribbed and I suggest a non-itchy yarn such as an 8ply baby wool or a wool/bamboo blend. The spikes are wool as they require a certain amount of stiffness. The crown can be wool or a wool blend. Acrylic should be OK.
The beanie is knitted-in-the-round, so it requires a 40cm (16 in) circular needle and a set of 4 dpns.
There is basic instructions given for a larger size.
Written instructions are detailed and include explanatory photos.
Included with pattern is a basic introduction to circular knitting. Also includes techniques and abbreviations used.
Gauge is 22 sts to 10cm or 5 1/2 sts to 1 inch over stocking stitch (stockingnette).
Lengths are given in metric and imperial units.
Yardage for small version is 195m/213yards and for medium 225m/246 yards.
