The North Beanie is a chunky knit beanie worked in 1x1 ribbing. It has a fairly classic look with a folded brim, a rounded bottom edge and a rounded crown shape, which also gives extra room on top of the head. The main body’s length can be customised also.
The pattern contains links to video tutorials for the techniques used.
