DIY KNITTING KIT - Beanie - Mariniere (multi size)

This beanie will warm up your head and your heart! It is a lightweight, simple, unisex beanie. 
Now, you can knit it yourself - in the special "Mariniere" version (iconic navy-white stripes) derived from the easy beanie by Brooknit Bonneterie. 

What is a beanie? 
Typically, a beanie (bonnet) goes on the head, to warm you up, protect you from the cold, or simply as a styling item: your choice! 

Where does it come from? 
The mariniere beanie is derived from the standard, single-color "easy beanie" designed by Julie, French New Yorker, knitter, and founder of Brooknit Bonneterie. 

What's in the kit? 
The kits are prepared by Julie, founder of Brooknit Bonneterie.
They contain all you need to be able to knit it, even for beginners! 
- The yarn! You need 100% Merino wool in the right amount for the 2 colors of the yarn (0.5oz of the primary color and 0.25oz for the secondary one in adult size) 
- Explanations and pattern documents: all the instructions to follow step by step. It includes QR codes with access to step-by-step video series, to show you the moves, and the tips! 

- 1 tapestry needle. The small essential to close at the top and weaving the ends. 

- 5 stitch markers. Never too many of those! 

- 1 marker row counter. So helpful to track your progress. 

- 1 cloth label to be sewn.

- 1 no-iron fabric labels to add the name (ideal to put on the back of the cloth label)

All items are stored in cotton drawstring bags. The larger one, containing the yarn, can also be used as a wash bag to protect the item in the washing machine. 

Knitting needles are optional. Quick tips to choose yours!
