Himalia XO Beanie Kit
Skill Level: Intermediate Knitting
You’ll love knitting the Himalia XO Beanie! This is a classic, unisex style that suits absolutely everyone. The pattern is a breeze to follow, using only a few simple twisted stitches to create the sweet XO pattern.
Thanks to the stretchy all-over rib, this beanie is incredibly adaptable, comfortably fitting heads from Small to Large (52cm - 62cm). Plus, you can easily adjust the length to get the perfect fit—slouchy, fitted, or somewhere in the middle. Shara has included both written and charted instructions, and since it's knit in the round, there's no seaming required. Win-win!
Your Himalia OX kit includes:
- 1 x 50g ball of Rimu DK (128 m) in your choice of colour. We used Rimu DK, colour R26 Denim for the beanie pictured. The same beanie is pictured on both models.
- A printed copy of the Himalia XO beanie pattern
- Wool Needles for darning in your ends
- plus a Crumbz project bag - if you would like more of the Project Bags you can add them to your order here.
Gauge/Tension:
25sts x 28 rows per 10cm (4”) in 4x2 rib
