{"product_id":"alba-beanie","title":"Alba Beanie","description":"\u003cp\u003eA colourwork beanie from Kiniki Knits — the Queenstown-based designer whose patterns we're proud to stock at The Wool Shop. The Alba Beanie is worked in DK \/ 8 ply yarn and gives you genuine creative flexibility: knit it in two, three, or four colours, each combination producing a different result. Finish it with a pom pom for a classic look, or a tassel if you prefer something a little more relaxed. By adjusting the length of the ribbing, you can also choose between a close-fitting style or a looser crown with some easy, casual flop — both options are shown in the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is named after the Ruta de Alba, a hiking trail in Sobrescobio, Spain — a place the designer visited with her son while the beanie was taking shape. That sense of place and movement comes through in the design: it's a beanie that feels considered without being fussy, and wearable without being plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated advanced beginner, it's an excellent introduction to colourwork for knitters who are ready to take the next step — the stitch counts are manageable, the colour changes are clearly charted, and the result is genuinely impressive for the level of complexity involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiniki Knits (Queenstown, NZ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\/M adult (55.5 – 57 cm head circumference)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYarn Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e DK \/ 8 Ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 sts × 30 rows per 10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2, 3, or 4 colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pom pom or tassel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eApproximate Yardage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMetres\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour 1 (main)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110 yds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 yds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 yds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour 4\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 yds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra for pom pom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 yds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e this listing is for the knitting pattern only.
