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 contains links to tutorials for the techniques used.
