This is the Braille beanie by ‘We are knitters’. The color is light pink and natural. It is knitted in “The petite wool” which is a thin 100% wool 1-ply yarn. I picked this kit because it is in the easy category, and I need a pattern to use up my leftover yarn from the Ranta scarf and Emei cardigan. The Ranta scarf had almost a whole skein left, minus 25 feet. The Emei cardigan had just enough leftover for his beanie, and I knitted the Emei cardigan in size L.
This kit includes 1 ball of The petite wool, a set of 8 mm knitting needles in wood, which I opt out, a label that you can sew on the finished product (which said knitted by myself), and a couple sewing needles.
Cost breakdown: 1 skein of yarn $14, the kit was $49 with the needles, $37 without the needles. So the pattern ended up costing $23, pretty expensive, especially because the pattern only comes with 2 sentences. Experienced knitters would be able to take a look and know what stitch this is.
This beanie took me about 3 hours to make (each). I use a Pom Pom maker to make the Pom poms. The fit is very loose, I probably could have casted 4 stitches less. I bought this kit in the color nude, but have yet to decide what to do with the skein. I made a mistake ordering it in nude since I bought 4 skeins in nude already to knit the Ranta scarf. So I will have leftover yarn in nude to knit a matching beanie.
