Sheepshank Beanie (DK)
If you’re up for a fun twist on tradition, the Sheepshank Beanie is just the project for you. This pattern offers a fresh take on the classic ribbed look using an engaging technique that’s different, but not difficult. Worked in DK weight yarn with a folded brim, it knits up quicker than you’d expect and delivers a timeless style that suits just about anyone. Inspired by the sheepshank knot, a simple, clever way to temporarily shorten a rope, this design mirrors that idea of balance and structure with its clean lines and rhythmic flow. Knit in the round from the bottom up, it’s the kind of pattern that keeps your attention from start to finish and becomes a favorite in your handmade collection. It is one size and can fit women, teens, and some men.
