The Essential Beanie is a classic fitted rib beanie with instructions included for six different yarn weights. My intention for this design was to make my ideal everyday hat with simple, thoughtful details. Instructions are included for a single fold or double fold brim, to suit your personal preference. The resulting beanie is so wearable, you might want to make one in all your favorite colors just as I did!

This pattern’s straightforward instructions and low yardage requirements make it a great beginner project and a perfect on-the-go knit. This hat is particularly suitable for using that special skein you’ve been seeking the right project for, or for trying out a yarn you’ve had your eye on. And of course, hats are always great candidates for gift knits that recipients are sure to love. The designer used Recollect Sport Porch Pumpkin.
