Clyde Beanie
This beanie is a seamless, double-layered hat. Worked as a single Stockinette tube, the hat is folded and joined before moving into a classic crown shaping. It is finished with your choice of a clean closed top or a cute, small I-cord loop. Designed to sit comfortably at the middle of the ears, this beanie has an intentionally shorter, wearable fit.
Multi-Gauge Versatility
Because knitters use different yarns and tensions, this pattern is written for multiple gauge ranges (from Super Bulky down to Fingering weight).
Match your blocked swatch to the Gauge Table to find your custom key, and follow the numbers tailored specifically to your yarn!
