The Jake Beanie. My play on the popular high-top hats. Classic, timeless and the perfect unisex style! It is meant to fit snug around your head, with the extra room at the crown sitting straight up. You can also knit this hat to be more fitted, if that is more to your liking.

I highly recommend looking at the hashtags #thejakebeanie & #jakebeanie. You can see variations of all the hats from customers, as well as fit pictures.

This pattern is written for Worsted, Aran, Bulky and Super Bulky Light weight yarns and is worked in all knit stitches. Please take the opportunity to play with yarns! For instance, combining a DK weight yarn with mohair is the perfect gauge for the worsted pattern. Maybe you have a worsted yarn that you want to pair with mohair, it will match the gauge of the Aran weight pattern. Don’t limit your creativity. This pattern may seem simple, being that it is all knit stitches. But the real magic, is in the fit!
