I designed this classic knit beanie for the Stunning String Learn To Knit Series. It is great for beginners or experienced knitters who want to achieve the classic beanie look. Great for the guys and the gals and works up quickly. Make it in your favorite color of Cozy Aran yarn and add some extra rows if you want a bit more slouch too.
