THE Beanie

THE Beanie THE Beanie is a timeless ribbed hat designed to become a staple in every cold-weather wardrobe. Worked seamlessly from the top down, this versatile pattern allows you to customize both the length of the hat and the depth of the folded brim to create anything from a classic fisherman-style beanie to a relaxed, slouchy fit. The top-down construction makes it easy to try on as you knit and adjust the size and proportions to suit your preferences. It also offers great flexibility when substituting yarns, as the fit can be monitored throughout the knitting process. The pattern is written for seven sizes, ranging from children to larger adult head circumferences, and includes detailed yarn information for a variety of fibres and gauges, including fingering-weight merino with silk mohair, cashmere, angora blends, suri alpaca blends, and lightweight blown yarns.
