Bold Beanie is a versatile head warmer that can be styled slouchy or snug by adjusting the long brim. It’s a one skein wonder: that means this pattern can be paired with a treasured souvenir skein to create an accessory that commemorates a special journey, or knit up in a luxurious yarn as a unique gift. It could even make an interesting stash busting project. Be bold and see where the path leads!
