Darvel Cabled Beanie – Knitting Pattern
Designed by Tilde Olsen for Orry Yarn Merino DK
The Darvel Cabled Beanie is an easy, confidence‑building knitting pattern designed by Tilde Olsen specifically for Orry Yarn Merino DK — our soft, springy, ethically sourced merino wool. With beautiful stitch definition, this yarn is perfect for showcasing textured stitches and simple cables.
Knitted in the round from the bottom up, this cosy beanie features a combination of cables and textured stitches, making it an ideal introduction to working cables in the round. At this stage of your knitting journey, you should feel comfortable reading a simple knitting pattern, casting on, working knit and purl stitches, and knitting in the round.
During this project, you will learn:
- How to work a C6B cable
- How to use double‑pointed needles (DPNs)
- How to shape the crown using simple decreases
- How to work cable decreases for a neat, balanced finish
As with all Yarn School patterns, the Darvel Cabled Beanie includes video support via our online learning platform, offering step‑by‑step guidance throughout the project.
When purchasing this pattern together with yarn, you will receive a FREE printed pattern. Your digital purchase also includes access to the Yarn School tutorial videos — simply email info@theorrymill.co.uk with your order number to request access.
