Fern Lace Beanie is a super chunky, slightly slouchy beanie laced with unfurling texture and grace. The four row repeat is simple and rhythmic which is soothing for the hands and for the soul. Although seemingly simple for the adventurous beginner, the design is a fun knit for all levels.

The fit is “slightly slouchy” with a snug brim. To modify the brim for large head circumference, consider sizing up to a US13.

You will need just one skein of most super bulky yarn options. It is highly recommended to ensure your selection has some flexibility to it to allow for a nice slouchy fit.
