Clamshell Beanie

Discover our beautifully crafted hat, inspired by the iconic clamshell pattern that soared in popularity during the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 30s. This stylish design not only complements the Clamshell Cowl perfectly but also stands out as a unique piece in your knitting collection.

This delightful hat is expertly knitted in the round using two elegant shades of DK yarn, offering you the chance to showcase your color creativity. It begins with a charming corrugated rib pattern, leading into an intricate stranded colorwork design that highlights the exquisite clamshell motif.

Available in three sizes, this hat can fit head circumferences of 51 (56, 61) cm, with actual measurements of 45 (52.5, 60) cm or 17¾ (20½, 23½) inches in circumference, and a depth of 20 cm or 7¾ inches. This thoughtful sizing ensures a comfortable fit for a variety of head sizes, making it a great gift option as well.

If you choose to use a different yarn than the one specified, you will need approximately 75 (85, 100) meters in Main Color (MC) and 75 (85, 100) meters in Contrast Color (CC) of DK yarn. This flexibility allows you to customize your hat’s look while maintaining quality and comfort.
