Academia Beanies Kit (Yarn + Patterns)

Inspired by our Library Semisolids, the Academia Collection is a compilation of THREE knit beanie designs by the amazing Beth @thingsbethmakes. This kit listing comes with one, two and three-skein options - so you can make one, two or all three beanies! The yarn is dyed on our Bifrost Bulky base - a scrumptious 3-ply SW Merino with excellent yardage (106y per skein) and stunning texture.

ABOUT THE DESIGNS:

The Academia Collection Pattern Booklet includes pattern instructions for the Boolean Beanie, Quarto Toque, and the LexisNexis. Patterns range from beginner friendly to intermediate difficulty, though I truly believe any pattern can be completed by a beginner if they have enough enthusiasm. Pattern includes written instructions only.

Yarn requirements per pattern:

Boolean Beanie: 95 (105)y or 87 (96)m

Quarto Toque: C1 65 (70) C2 25 (28) C3 25 (28)y or C1 60 (64) C2 23 (26) C3 23 (26)m

LexisNexis: MC 68 (75)y, CC 38 (42)y or MC 62 (69)m, CC 35 (39)m

Yarn usage will vary if you do not meet gauge as indicated in the pattern.

In addition to Bulky weight yarn, you will need size 10US/6.0mm (10.5US/6.5mm) 16” circular needles (or size needed to meet gauge), size 10/6.0mm (10.5US/6.5mm) DPNs, a darning needle, and a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.

Finished Sizes: 16”, (18.5”) designed to fit with 2-5” negative ease. Samples shown are 16” worn with 5” negative ease.
