Salaam Beanie

This design started out as a search for a knitted version of a ṭāqīyah—referred to in other languages from within the faith as an ’araqchin, kufi, kap, or topi. After a dozen or so prototypes I settled on this design, and expanded it also to work as a beanie. The design incorporates the square-kufic Arabic rendering of the word “salaam”—peace/peace of mind.
Like many ṭaqiyah on the market, this is more or less a “one size fits most” design, in this case knitted up for an adult-sized head. The fabric and cast-on are pretty stretchy and allow for a large range of sizes. Changing needle size and yarn weight will allow for much variety here, as seen in the samples section.
For an adult-sized beanie or skullcap, recommended are aran-weight/worsted-weight yarns or equivalent. A variety of yarn materials has been tested for this pattern and are available in the samples section along with suggested needles, yarns, gauge, dimensions, and weight in grams. Pattern includes a chart and written instructions as well as notes on recipe-like possibilities.
