Description
This knitting pattern PDF is for the Inside-out Beanie and Mitts. These accessories are reversible. The beanie can be worn fitted with the garter rib edging folded back and the knit side of the stocking stitch section facing; or slouchy with the garter rib edging unfolded and the reverse side of the stocking stitch section (purl fabric) facing. The mitts can also be worn two ways.
When making these accessories, the garter rib edging is worked with the wrong side facing and the stocking stitch fabric is worked with the knit side facing. When the edging is folded back, the right side of the garter rib edging and the knit side of the stocking stitch fabric will be facing.
When turned inside out with the edging unfolded, the right side of the garter rib edging will be facing and the main fabric will be the reverse side of the stocking stitch (purl fabric).
The beanie is knitted in rounds from the bottom edge up with shaping for the crown. It has a section of 1 x 1 rib after the garter rib edging. A pompom can be added on completion.
The mitts are knitted in rounds from the bottom edge up, with a thumb opening.
The Inside-out Beanie and Mitts require average to intermediate knitting skills.
