The Northern Attitude Beanie is a classic beanie design with a stockinette body and a ribbed brim. It is a simple, classic folded brim beanie that is perfect for fall and winter, and could be worn with or without a pom pom! It has crown shaping to fit the head, rather than the pointy/raised crown you see in some beanies. The hat is knit top down, in the round, with an Italian Tubular bind-off for a finished edge. This beanie pattern is offered in 3 different weight options (DK, Worsted and Bulky), and 8 different size options (Preemie up to Adult Large) for a total of 24 different options! *Tech Edited by Nicky Jensen (handknitsandhygge.com)* **Sizes offered (see schematic in photos for full sizing details):** Preemie (10-12 inch / 25-30 cm head circumference) Newborn (12-15 inch / 30-37.5 cm head circumference) Baby (14-17 inch / 35-42.5 cm head circumference) Toddler (16-19 inch / 40-47.5 cm head circumference) Child (18-20 inch / 42.5-50 cm head circumference) Adult Small (19-22 inch / 45-55 cm head circumference) Adult Medium (20-23 inch / 47.5-57.5 cm head circumference) Adult Large (22-25 inch / 55-62.5 cm head circumference) *These sizes are given with their approximate head measurement range, please make sure to base your sizing off of the measurements, not the age range.
