THIS IS A DIGITAL PDF PATTERN. IT IS NOT A FINISHED KNITTED HAT.

Get over 20% off both the Short and Tall Staple Beanies by purchasing them together in this bundle!

The Short and Tall Staple Beanies are knitted beanies that are customizable to your unique head measurements.

The Short Staple Beanie beanie has recommendations for fitting above or over the ears, but you can really make it as short or as long as you want. It is designed to fit flush against your head.

The Tall Staple Beanie is designed with extra length on top, and that length is proportionate to your head circumference.

Both patterns create knitted hats that fit everyone’s head like a dream, and the simple designs make them staples for cold and breezy weather, bad hair days, or whenever you wanna wear a cute beanie!

You can get this pattern for only $11 on my website: newwaveknitting.com/shop

These patterns are for confident beginners.

Gauge:
You can use any gauge for both patterns! However, it is very important that you gauge swatch and determine your gauge before working these patterns in order to determine how many stitches and rows you need to work throughout these patterns to get the exact right fit.

Needles:
You can use any size needles for these patterns. I recommend using a needle size that creates a nice fabric with the yarn you’ve chosen to work with. In terms of types of needles, you need:
-16” circular needles
-double pointed needles (DPNs) OR 36”+ circular needles to use with the magic loop method
-You will also need an extra needle that is the same size as your main, working needle, or .5mm bigger or smaller. We will use this needle for the cast on method.

Yarn:
You can use any weight and any size yarn for this pattern! However, I highly recommend using fingering through worsted yet yarn for the best results.

Amount of yarn needed:
The amount of yarn you need depends on what kind of yarn you use and your measurements. Average yardages needed per weight of yarn for an adult-sized beanie are included in the patterns.

Materials:
- Stitch Markers
- Tapestry Needle
- Scissors
- Measuring Tape

Techniques needed (step-by-step instructions AND video references are included for each technique):

- Stockinette in the round
- Decreases
