Beloved Worsted by Solenn Couix-Loarer

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

A lighter version of our popular “Beloved aran“” hat to pamper every head!

Knitted over the course of a few evenings in a simple textured stitch that gives a lovely texture, with a shape that wraps around well and is neither too pointed nor too square to suit everyone, it’s a perfect pattern for finishing off lonely balls of yarn and reminding yourself how much fun it is to know how to knit!

The explanations include a seamless version in the round and a version to knit flat back and forth for those who prefer to avoid knitting in the round on small diameters.
