Construction: Fox Point, Wayland Square, and India Point make up a collection of three classic hats. These hats, all designed with worsted weight yarn, combine simple stitches and classic beanie shapes to create hats designed to mix and match and fit the whole family. Each hat is available in five sizes to fit a baby, toddler, child, teen or small adult, and large adult.

India Point is my interpretation of the classic fisherman’s rib beanie. I use center double decreases to create a slightly more gathered crown than usual. This hat is superwarm with a deep folded brim to keep your ears warm this winter.
