The Northern Attitude Beanie is a classic beanie design with a stockinette body and a ribbed brim. It is a simple, classic folded brim beanie that is perfect for fall and winter, and could be worn with or without a pom pom! It has crown shaping to fit the head, rather than the pointy/raised crown you see in some beanies. The hat is knit top down, in the round, with an Italian Tubular bind-off for a finished edge. This beanie pattern is offered in 3 different weight options (DK, Worsted and Bulky), and 8 different size options (Preemie up to Adult Large) for a total of 24 different options!

Preemie (10-12 inch / 25-30 cm head circumference)
Newborn (12-15 inch / 30-37.5 cm head circumference)
Baby (14-17 inch / 35-42.5 cm head circumference)

These sizes are given with their approximate head measurement range, please make sure to base your sizing off of the measurements, not the age range. There is a bit of overlap between sizes, so I recommend trying to find a size where you fall in the middle of the circumference range.
