Tens

If you're a fan of slouchy beanies but find that they sometimes fall short in keeping you warm during the frigid Canadian winters, this innovative pattern might just be what you need. Designed specifically for those chilly days, this beanie features an option to line the hat with an extra layer of warmth and comfort. You'll not only enjoy the stylish slouch of the beanie but also benefit from added protection against biting winter winds.

For the hat's main body, you'll need approximately 160-190 yards of worsted or aran weight yarn. If you're opting for the cozy liner, prepare another 160-190 yards of DK weight yarn for the worsted weight hat, or use worsted weight for the aran weight version. It's essential to select a soft yarn that feels gentle against your skin and won't cause any itching. Natural fibers such as alpaca or qiviut are fantastic options; they offer that luxurious fuzzy feel and will beautifully felt over time, creating a snug, wind-tight lining.

For this knitting project, you will need 3 mm and 4 mm double-pointed needles (dpns), though you can also use short circulars or the magic loop method as you reach the crown decreases. This pattern not only blends style and practicality but also empowers you to take on the winter season with warmth and flair.
