The Design

“A brrr-illiant basic!”

With this fun free pattern, we took our favorite Basic Beanie and gave it a bit of extra length for a nice, cozy cuff! This hat is just about as easy as can be knit all in straightforward stockinette stitch with swirling decreases to finish. And a bulky-weight yarn promises it’ll be off your needles in—if not a few hours—a few nights of knitting!

For this adorable, cuffed beanie, we chose Sirdar Alpine—a superbly soft and supremely pettable bulky-weight yarn. Akin to a fringed ribbon and crafted entirely in polyester, Alpine is also machine-washable—perfect for this playful, fluffy hat.
