Keen Beanie just wants to be on your head. With three yarn weight options and an entirely customisable sizing method, keen beanie is eager to please and is perfect for all heads, great and small. Worked flat for easy making, with a unique crown shaping method developed by Laura of Knit & Pals, there is no bulk around the crown, creating a great shape to fit your noggin.

Keen Beanie just wants to be made and has no preference to the yarn you make it with. In fact, it’s the perfect project for those one off skeins that you just had to have, but don’t know what to do with.

Keen Beanie would like to become a classic wardrobe staple and insists that you can wear it with any outfit.

This design includes written instruction in both UK and US crochet terminology as well as a stitch diagram.
