The name of the beanie refers to spring and warmer weather, when you no longer need to wear a thick beanie. This thin beanie is knitted using fingering weight yarn, but due to the folds, there are still three layers of fabric over the ears. The beanie is knitted top down, making it easy to try on for both the width and length. The number of folds can be easily modified to suit personal preferences.

This minimalist beanie features a beautiful detail at the crown, where the increases continue symmetrically.
