This beanie is one of the first patterns I ever sat down to write myself. Named after my son, the Izzy Beanie will always be one of my most treasured patterns. I'm here to share the details with you today, so grab your needles and follow along!
Using super bulky weight yarn, the beanie knits up quick, and is a great project for both beginner and experienced knitters. The hat features a double ribbed pattern with a folded over, tighter fit. It can easily be made into a slouchier fit by simply knitting a few more rows than the pattern calls for, or wearing uncuffed.
For this project, you should be comfortable with a long tail cast on method, knitting in the round, and knit and purl stitch.
I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Quick & Thick yarn, shown in color "Fig." This yarn is very easy to work with and extremely comfortable when it comes time to wear your finished product.
If you'd like the ad free, PDF version of this pattern, it is available for a small fee here.
