Dive into the elegance of Herringbone Stitch with my instruction for a stylish beanie. This beanie uniquely combines beauty and warmth. The Herringbone Stitch gives it a timeless and appealing structure. With a variable individual length, you decide how you want to wear your beanie – with a folded brim or without. The instruction includes seven sizes, ensuring even the little ones can enjoy a matching hat.
