The Sunrise Beanie // Checkerboard Hat Pattern

This beanie is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, featuring a cozy double knit brim and a playful checkerboard pattern. The geometric design provides a double layer of warmth as the stranded knitting technique creates a thicker warmer fabric to keep out the chill. A variety of sizes are available suitable for the whole family.
