Tarmac beanie is a beginner-friendly pattern for a 2 x 2 ribbed beanie with a raised crown, emphasised with a block of ribbing running from the top to the bottom.
It is provided in eight sizes, from 1 year old to extra-large adult (X-Large).
It uses a DK (8 ply) yarn with a common gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) and is worked with 4mm needles.
The beanie is worked from the bottom up. At the crown, stitches are decreased either side of a central set of stitches.
The pattern was named after the hours I spent waiting on the tarmac in a grounded plane and experimenting with this pattern. Thank goodness I had my knitting.
