NEEDLES

5 mm Needles /16” Cable

YARN

Red Heart Super Saver Stripes

NOTES

These patterns were written with Red Heart Super Saver Stripes in mind but any Weight 4 Yarn could easily be substituted.

One skein was enough to make both beanies with yarn to spare.

I was able to complete the decrease portion of the beanie using my 16” cable but if you find it tricky switching to DPN’s may be helpful.
