My Fisherman
Introducing the My Fisherman beanie—a cozy and stylish accessory perfect for anyone looking to add warmth to their winter wardrobe. This basic beanie features a snug fit ideal for both men and women. The beanie is knitted using a straightforward bottom-up approach in the round, making it accessible even for beginner knitters. Once you've completed the knitting process, you have the option to turn the hat inside out for a unique twist, and then fold the edge either once or twice for your preferred style.
When you fold the brim once, the beanie provides a deep, comfortable coverage over the ears, ensuring you stay warm during chilly weather. Alternatively, you can wear it loosely at the top of the head for a relaxed look. If you choose to fold the brim twice, it creates a stylish Cousteau-inspired appearance that rests elegantly on the back of the head.
If you’re a fan of taller beanies, consider working the straight portion of the 1x1 ribbing longer than the original instructions. For optimal results, I recommend using a fluffy yarn with less drape, such as woollen spun yarn or non-superwash merino. This will give you the height and structure you desire while retaining a cozy feel.
Sizes Available: 1 (2, 3) – tailored to fit head circumferences of approximately 50–53 (53–57, 57–61) cm / 19.75–21 (21–22.5, 22.5–24) inches.
The stunning blue beanie showcased in the photos was expertly knitted in size 2, highlighting its versatility and potential for customization.
Yarn Requirements: For this pattern, you will need 1 skein of Pentti kampalanka by Vuonue, a blend of 70% Finnish wool and 30% tencel, which offers an impressive 240 m / 262 yds per 100 g. The recommended colourway used in the sample is tummansininen, but feel free to explore other shades! If you prefer a different yarn, you'll need approximately 150 (170, 200) m / 164 (185, 218) yds of any DK-weight yarn to complete your beanie.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the My Fisherman beanie pattern is a must-try for creating a unique and practical accessory.
