Beanie posting 01

9 September, 2026

I have been learning to knit over the last few months, with much help from the amazing Clare 🥰

I started with tiny coaster — which took much longer than I was expecting while I was getting used to how to knit.

But like with anything I am learning, I love to start with a real project that I might one day use if I finish it, so I chose this beanie:

I have made a bunch of mistakes that mean the ribbing didn’t quite line up as expected at the start, but I am starting to get a bit more consistent now :)

I also misread the instructions (as I was watching the hockey when I started), so I started by knitting and purling each row, instead of each stitch.

How cool does the ribbing look (when it’s correct 😂)

And here’s my custom pattern — pretty sure it’s caused by knitting instead of purling 🙃🧶
