Bubbles beanie is a cosy beanie knitted in a chunky British wool. It features bubbles formed using a simple cable pattern. The bubbles rise from the rib and disappear on the crown. Bubbles is quick to knit, so it’s perfect for gift knitting!

Bubbles beanie is knitted in the round from the rib up. The hat starts with a tubular cast-on giving a lovely edge to the rib. The rib merges into the cable pattern, which in turn merges into the decreases on the crown.

Other details

This pattern is available in two versions: there’s one written for those who knit left-handed as well as the standard one for those who knit right-handed.

Most of you knit right-handed, that is, your stitches move from the left to right needle as you knit: choose “knitting right-handed”.

Some of you knit left-handed, that is, your stitches move from the right to left needle as you knit: choose “knitting left-handed”.

If you are a left-handed knitter who knits right-handed, that is your stitches move from the left to right needle, you should choose “knitting right-handed”.
