The BEANIE 01 Knitting Pattern is a confident beginner pattern for knitting a classic, fitted adult beanie featuring a deep folded brim worked in half-twisted rib and simple stockinette construction.

Worked seamlessly from the bottom up, BEANIE 01 combines clean, classic styling with traditional crown shaping for an everyday hat you’ll reach for again and again.

The downloadable PDF includes clear written instructions, finished measurements, yarn requirements, gauge information, abbreviations and technique guidance to help you complete your project.

ABOUT THE PATTERN

BEANIE 01 is worked seamlessly from the bottom up in the round.

The beanie begins with a 4” / 10 cm half-twisted rib brim designed to be worn folded. The body is worked in stockinette stitch before the crown is shaped with evenly spaced K2tog decreases. Double-pointed needles are used as the crown circumference becomes too small for the circular needle.
