The So Damn Good Beanie is that perfect mix of cozy, colorful, and easy to wear. It’s designed with a relaxed, slouchy fit, but if you prefer something more fitted, just fold the brim for a snug cap style. The pattern is written in six sizes (child through adult), with adjustments in both circumference and length so you can get the fit exactly how you like it.

The stranded colorwork fabric is paired with a tidy corrugated ribbing, and both the main body and crown decreases are provided in written and charted instructions. Whether you’ve knit colorwork before or you’re dipping a toe in with DK weight, this one is friendly, rhythmic, and satisfying.
