The 70's Boho – The Beanie

Three clean blocks of colour with no transition make the beanie a statement in itself. Wear it with neutral outerwear and let the colours do the work – or go the opposite way and match the raspberry top with something else red.

• Finished in an evening or two.
• Mock cables over just three rounds – no cable needle.
• Three colours, three clear blocks, zero guesswork.
• Mohair held double gives fullness without weight.
• The wide turn-up brim stands up on its own.

The 70's Boho is three colours that shouldn't go together, and do anyway. No transitions, no soft shifts – three clean blocks, like a colour chart from 1974. The contrast is the whole design.

A Head Full of Dreams is CosyMonday's signature collection of beanies – inspired by hope, creativity and stories told through colours, textures and moods.

One Size

Length: 31 cm
Width flat: 23 cm
Turn-up: 12 cm

The length is measured from the folded edge upwards, with the turn-up lying on the outside.

Recommended yarn

Yarn held double throughout. Choose one of these:

Tjukk Mohair – Rauma Garn, 50 g = 100 m
Påfugl in Paris – House of Yarn, 50 g = 90 m

Chocolate Crush – 2 balls
Navy – 1 ball
Raspberry – 1 ball

Approx. 270 metres in total, around 150 grams. Chocolate Crush is used for all the ribbing and takes 133 metres on its own – hence two balls.

Needles

Short circular needle 7 mm
Double-pointed needles 7 mm or Magic Loop

12 stitches × 17 rounds = 10 × 10 cm on 7 mm needles, with yarn held double.

The beanie is knitted in the round bottom-up. The wide ribbing is knitted first and folded up at the end along a purl round. From there, mock cables run unbroken through all three colour blocks, and the crown is shaped with even decreases.

• Stretchy cast-on
• Twisted knit stitch
• Mock cable without a cable needle
• Using a stitch marker
• Weaving in ends as you go

The colours change sharply – that is the whole point. Feel free to swap them for leftover yarn you have lying around, but keep the three blocks.
