Suzy Snowflake Beanie Pattern

This worsted weight ‘Suzy Snowflake Beanie’ is knit in two-color stranded colorwork to create a festive wintery design. I used a third color for a contrasting brim. My inspiration for the name comes from my families’ favorite winter special: Suzy Snowflake. I think the snowflake motifs and color pairing resemble the style of this nostalgic stop motion cartoon from the early 1950’s. I have included written instructions for both the brim and decrease sections and a chart for the main fair isle portion. When choosing colors, I suggest using high contrasting colors to really show off the snowflakes.GaugeUsing US 8 (5.0mm) needles:21 sts and 25 rows make a 4” (10cm) square in stockinette stitch, unblocked, knit in the round.20 sts and 23 rows make a 4” (10cm) square in main fair isle pattern, feel free to reference this gauge once the main portion of the hat is established.Materials175 total yards (83g/159m) of worsted weight yarn in 3 colors, recommended yarn: Malabrigo Worsted.
