Nomad Beanie

There have been countless variations on a classic ribbed hat - and here is mine. The Nomad Beanie has become a mountain life staple in my collection and is the perfect design for cooler weather adventures. This pattern is written for 6 sizes and is easy to customize to the exact fit that you’d like. It is a great project for beginner and experienced knitters alike. I hope you enjoy knitting this quick and cozy beanie!
