Menten is a long shallow triangular scarf which is knit lengthways in garter stitch, with a simple lace edge. It will show off a variegated or self-striping yarn, any weight from 4-ply to aran. Use needles that give a fabric you like - I’d suggest using needles one or two sizes larger than normal for your yarn.

fits a man’s or large woman’s head, approx 60 cm head circumference

A beanie-style hat for organic chemists everywhere.
