The Georgie Beanie is the little brother of the Georgia Beanie. It is knitted top-down, allowing you to try it on while knitting. It also means that with a limited amount of yarn, you can just knit till your yarn runs out!

The top part of the hat is in garter rib, which gives the look of ribbing without the snugness (say no to helmet hair). The brim is in 2x2 rib to achieve a neat looking fold and a better fit. The brim length is easily adjustable.
