Northern Gleam Knit Hat Pattern by Marly Bird | Stranded Colorwork Beanie | Worsted Weight | Chart + Video Tutorials | Sizes S–XL

Want a knit hat that looks like a total show-off… but is still actually doable? 😍✨
Northern Gleam is my stranded colorwork beanie pattern with a bold “aurora” vibe and a super satisfying repeat. You’ll work bottom-up, knit one colorwork chart, and finish with clean crown shaping—plus you’ll have video support if you want it. (Because I’ve got you, bestie.) 💛

This is stranded colorwork (two colors per round, floats on the inside)—not a “learn 47 new things at once” situation. The pattern even reminds you to keep floats manageable (no more than 5 stitches) so it stays smooth and comfy inside.

⭐️ Pattern Details

  • Skill Level: Intermediate (great first stranded colorwork hat if you’re ready to level up)

  • Sizes: S (M, L, XL)

  • Finished Circumference: 18.5 (20, 21, 22.5)” / 47 (51, 53.5, 57) cm

  • Length: 8.5 (9.5, 9.5, 10.5)” / 21.5 (24, 24, 26.5) cm

  • Construction: Bottom-up in the round with ribbed brim + charted colorwork + crown shaping

  • Brim Options: single or folded/double brim for extra warmth

🧵 What Makes It Extra Great

✅ Stranded colorwork made approachable (only 2 colors per round)
✅ Full-color chart (6-stitch repeat)
✅ Video tutorial links (including a full Northern Gleam tutorial!)

✅ Built-in “smart knitter” tips like using a lifeline when you want extra security
