About
Beanies & Bobble Hats
If you’re looking for a touch of 1940s glamour, this turban-style beanie—which is so much easier to knit than you’d think at first glance—is the answer to your wishes. If you’ve never worked in reverse stockinette (stocking) stitch before, don’t panic; it’s only what’s usually called the “wrong side” of stockinette (stocking) stitch. I knitted this turban in a delicate eaude-nil shade, which I felt reflected the vintage look nicely, but it would also work beautifully in super-bright shades. And for a bit of added chic, pin a vintage gem to the band.

Step 3
To make up
Sew the back seam using mattress stitch.
With the RS facing out, oversew the top short end of the turban band to the center of the hat, just after the last row of reverse stockinette (stocking) stitch.
Oversew the other end to the underside of the hat, in the same place. Weave in all loose ends.
