PATTERN INFORMATION
Welcome to the Torbay Beanie. This beanie is
a cable beanie suited to beginner cablers. The
pattern is a 12 row repeat and only requires
cable stitches to be made on one of these
rows. The rest of the pattern consists of knits
and purls. My friend helped me name this
beanie as she thought it reminded her of the
asparagus that grow in the small town of
Torbay, located in the Great Southern region
of Western Australia.
This beanie is knit in the round and utilises 2
cable stitches to achieve the unique pattern.
The length of this beanie can be adjusted
based on the number of pattern repeats
knitted.
