“To celebrate one of our most beloved and versatile hat patterns, we’ve updated Mawson to include sizing for the whole family (newborn, baby, child, adult regular, adult large) as well as two different crown shaping options (the original standard crown and the newly-added peaked crown) to allow for full customization.
The pattern can be worked as a standard beanie or as a classic watchcap with folded brim using any worsted or DK weight yarn in our line. This is the only pattern you’ll need to give the people what they want! (Ribbed beanies!)” — designer, Jared Flood
