I love a good classic beanie with a bit of texture and style and the Ledge Beanie delivers! The Ledge Beanie works up quickly and is great for beginner knitters or The Ledge Beanie Quick Knit Free Pattern was originally part of the 2019 Knitcrate Bonanza of Patterns and I am so excited to now be bringing it to you for free.

And as a very special treat, as part of Marly Bird & Friends 24 Days of Quickies you can download the pattern here for this month only!

I truly loved working with Knitcrate to develop this collection of patterns and yarns. The Ledge Beanie uses DK weight yarn and is great for guys or gals.

The beauty of The Ledge Beanie Quick Knit Free Pattern is that you can easily size it up or down and make it even more slouchy but adding a few extra rounds in the main body section.

Personally, I love to add extra repeats and rounds for super slouchy beanie style. It helps me keep my thick curly hair all tucked away!
