MARINER’S BEANIE




……………………………….

Enhanced by classic nautical stripes, the architectural crown shaping is what gives this beanie its distinct appearance - whilst ensuring a comfortable fit and stylistic versatility.

A quintessentially coastal design in squishy fisherman’s rib, the Mariner’s Beanie will keep your head and ears cozy even in the harshest of winds - whether at sea or on shore. 
 


Note: This pattern purchase includes instructions for chunky weight, Aran weight, DK weight, and fingering-sportweight versions of the design.
