The Skater Beanie is inspired by the skaters style and fisherman’s style beanies. It has a folded tall brim to cover most of the ears, however it can be made shorter - similar to fisherman’s style - or longer, according to your preference. It features a rounded and clean looking bottom edge, while the crown is made to fit the head and it’s not loose.

The pattern also contains links to video tutorials for the techniques used.
