The Easy Beanie

measurements
One Size - The finished circumference is 36cm unstretched, which can stretch out up to
around 70cm.

The finished length is around 25cm before turning up the brim, however this can be shortened
or lengthened as required!

tension
20 stitches and 19 rows to a 10cm square in 1x1 rib stitch using 6.5mm needles.

Check your tension - if fewer stitches use thinner needles, if more stitches use thicker needles.

TO MAKE UP

Cut yarn, making sure to leave a tail long enough for sewing up the side seam. Weave the
yarn through the remaining stitches, and remove the stitches from the knitting needle, pulling
the yarn tight to create the crown of your hat. With RS facing you, sew the side seam. Around
7.5cm from the bottom, turn the hat inside out and sew the rest of the seam on the reverse
side (this will be the bit that you turn up for the brim!)

Finally, sew in your ends and cut your yarn - you’re all done!
