PATTERN INFORMATION

Welcome to the Cheynes Beanie (pronounced chains). This beanie is a colorwork beanie that is suited towards beginner colorwork knitters. The pattern is knit in the round and provides an easy introduction to the world of colorwork. Cheynes is a small coastal town close to where I live in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. I felt like the chain-link feature in the middle of this pattern was the perfect inspiration when naming this beanie.

When knitting colorwork, it is important to relax when carrying the floats (the yarn at the back of the work). If the floats are too tight, they will not have enough room to stretch and although your beanie may look nice, it will not fit correctly.
