The Brain Freeze Beanie is guaranteed to keep your head and your thoughts warm. A cozy, textured hat featuring an effortless yet engaging knit-and-purl design that creates beautiful dimension. Created with thoughtful shaping, the stitch pattern flows seamlessly from the brim to the body and right into the crown. A strategically planned brim and a carefully planned decrease keep the texture perfectly aligned from top to bottom. The result is a satisfying knit with a polished finish and a beautifully balanced fit, perfect for keeping your head warm on those chilly days when a little “brain freeze” is the last thing you need. This beanie is one-size and fits most adults and teens.
