You're familiar with this scenario, right? You come across a
project – maybe a beanie, a sweater, a scarf, mittens, or a shawl – and
immediately recognize it as a fantastic pattern. So, you snap a picture of it
and save it in your stash folder, labeled "Future Knitting Projects."
That's precisely how I operate. Now that I'm partially retired, I have ample
time to indulge in what I adore: bringing various patterns from my
"stash" folder to life. Reading patterns aren't a significant hurdle,
given that countless books and online resources document them. Recently, I
embarked on a knitting venture involving a beanie, employing a technique known
as "knit in the stitch below." It involves two colors and
incorporates a combination of c4f, c6b, and c4b in the third row, followed by
c4f, c6f, and c4b in row 7. Below, you'll find an image of the cable pattern
I've begun for the beanie's brim.
Start with a provisional cast-on of a crochet chain long
enough for 25 stitches,
Row 1 (RS) : K1, p1, k4, p2, k9, p2, k4, p1, k1
Row 2 and ALL EVEN Rows: P1, k1, p4, k2, p9, k2, p4, k1, p1
Row 3: K1, p1, c2b, p2, c6b, k3, p2, c4b, p1 k1
Row 5: Rep. Row 1
Row 7: K1, p1, c4f, p2, k3, c6f, p2, c4b, p1, k1
Repeat rows 1 through 8 until your project reaches the
desired length. Be sure to measure the head circumference of the intended
recipient of the beanie.
