This is a very simple beanie suitable for a child or pre-teen. The wide band is knit with the smaller needles for snug fit and the body of the hat is knit using the larger size needles for comfort. The hat measures 16-1/2” around the band, and is 8” high from the cast-on edge to the top of the hat.

The hat can be easily knit as a slouchy by just knitting more rounds of the body.

The sample was knit with an acrylic yarn because the hat was intended for the Hats for Kids Project.
