I originally designed this one for the boys in the Mirasol Accessories Book 6, but as soon as it came back from my knitter, I knew I needed one too! It’s an easy, fuss-free knit with no complicated stitches or tricky techniques – just simple, satisfying knitting.

I designed it with a relaxed, floppy fit, but if you prefer a snug beanie, just knit it a little shorter.
Over the years, this has become a real Purl &Jane favourite, and I love spotting it “out in the wild” around Skipton. The best moments? Seeing a hat I recognise on someone I don’t – because a knitter has gifted it to a friend or loved one!

A great project for beginners and seasoned knitters alike, this hat is a joy to knit and even better to wear.
