Ballachulish Beanie by Corinne (TWT Owner) is an adorable, colorwork beanie knit with fingering weight yarn. The pattern recommends five colors of Jamieson & Smith 2ply yarn or Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift; both are great, woolly yarns. This cheerful beanie is oh-so-cozy and a joy for colorwork knitters. You'll find a nice rhythm in the colorwork motifs and woolly stitches. The colorwork motifs go right to the top where there are quick decreases to make a nice little puckered top for a great and comfortable fit.

Name Inspiration from Corinne: Ballachulish is from the Scottish Gaelic, Baile a' Chaolais meaning "the Village by the Narrows." For centuries, ferry boats traveled back and forth across the waters of Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe, not far from Glencoe in Scotland. One such ferry was named for the town it served, Ballachulish, and I have very fond memories of being a wee tot and going over the water on the ferry with my Dad. A bridge now traverses the Ballachulish Narrows where the ferry once sailed and this wee Beanie is named after the ferry at Ballachulish. This pattern is a great choice for adventurous beginners. We can recommend the Introduction to Knitting Colorwork featuring Emma Barnaby as she walks us through many steps and pointers for knitting colorwork in the round.
