Classic Beanie Knitting Pattern PDF File

This hat goes by many names: a watch cap, fisherman’s beanie or a toque if you’re Canadian!

Whatever you call it, this classic beanie is perfect for heads of all ages and sizes. It's knit in the round with a beginner-friendly 1×1 rib and a sleek decrease that keeps the rib pattern intact.

This hat can be worn cuffed for a fisherman’s look or un-cuffed for a slouchy feel.

SIZING: With two sizes, one for adults and one for babies and toddlers, this hat is perfect for the whole family!

The child size is for heads that measure 14-18” while the adult size fits best for heads between 19-23”
