Feature Pattern of the Week - Banded Braids
- Posted on
Banded Braids Beanie by Anna Tucker,
Malabrigo Rasta, colors Whole Grain & Natural
Enjoy crisp winter walks in the Banded Braids Beanie by Anna Tucker of Little Larkspur Designs. Anna has been knitting since she was 8 years old & enjoys creating designs that are unique, beautiful & fun to knit. We took a cue from Anna’s lovely samples & knit our shop sample in Malabrigo Rasta as well.
The Banded Braids Beanie is a fun weekend knit & great for anyone who enjoys learning a new technique. The hat is knit in the round from the brim up & incorporates a Latvian Braid to achieve the stunning brim. Anna provides wonderful photo diagrams & written instructions for the braid.
The hat pattern includes sizing for newborn-adult. To knit the hat you will need one skein each of two colors of Malabrigo Rasta, a faux fur pom & size US 15, 16” circular & double point needles (note- for sizes 0-12 month the pattern calls for size US 13 needles).
