Fayne is a knitter’s take on a favorite print: plaid! Named after Nancy Drew’s short-haired sidekick, Fayne is a fetching plaid beret that’s a little bit retro and a little bit traditional.
Because plaid isn’t usually very knitting friendly, Fayne plays a little trick on the eye to resemble plaid while sticking to two colors per row, with no fussy intarsia, duplicate stitch, or crochet needed. It’s an enjoyable, unique knit, and the result looks much more complicated than it is!
Yarn
1 skein of Quince & Co. Chickadee (181yd / 166m per 50g skein) in the following 4 colors:
Needles
2.75mm (US 2) circular needles
3.00mm (US 2.5) circular needles
Notions
Yarn needle
14 stitch markers
Gauge
28 sts / 30 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in stranded st st using 3.00mm (US 2.5) needles, or size needed to obtain gauge
Size
One size, however there are two cast on options for tighter or looser ribbing, as preferred (especially useful if your yarn doesn’t contract or keep its shape well in 1x1 ribbing). Larger cast on will stretch to comfortably fit head circumferences up to 24” / 61cm. If a slightly larger or smaller size is desired, simply go up or down a needle size from needles that give you correct gauge.
