This lightweight beany is perfect for when your thick woolly hats will be too hot as we head into warmer weather but you’re not yet ready to go out without a hat.

Yes, this is knit on 3.5mm (US4) instead of a smaller size that you would usually use for fingering/sock weight yarn but that’s because I like knitting on 3.5mm! If you want to use 3.25mm (US 3) instead then I’m sure it won’t make any difference so long as you’re getting gauge (29 st and 35 rows over 10cm).

You can use any fingering or sock weight yarn and is great for using up part skeins you have.

Sized for children through to adult large and a unisex design makes this perfect for the whole family
