Everything, Everywhere Beanie

ABOUT:
Is it an acorn? Or a fitted beanie? Or a doubled-up brim? It can be everything, everywhere, all at once! Designed for you to use that precious skein of sock yarn or DK weight yarn, this beanie has unlimited potential for you, your lover, your frenemy - whoever in whatever dimension (maybe one where we have hotdog fingers but still knit?).

This 1x1 ribbed beanie is knit from the bottom up, with options for a single-folded or double-folded brim. The crown is worked in a unique decrease that results in a gentle point at the top of the hat. Wear it slightly away from your skull to enhance the protrusion or fold the brim for a closer fit to make that point (hill? acorn? whatever!) disappear (was it even there at all?).

10% of proceeds from each pattern purchase will be donated to OutYouth, an organization which supports youth of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
