Understorey

Discover the beauty of unique knit hat designs with our Understorey beanie pattern. Unlike most knit hats that feature intricate designs predominantly in the main body, this cozy and snug beanie puts all the emphasis on the brim. The Understorey beanie showcases three distinct cable patterns that alternate rhythmically across the brim: from simple twists to a set of three small cables, culminating in an elaborate four-stranded braid that adds texture and visual interest.

The body of the hat is crafted simply in stockinette stitch, then cleverly folded inside out to reveal the soft purl side. This technique not only enhances the texture but is also perfect for showcasing your favorite hand-dyed yarns, allowing their colors to shine. You can choose to finish off the hat with a stylish pom-pom for a fun touch or keep it sleek and minimal by leaving it plain.

Unleash your creativity by knitting the brim in one color and the main body of the hat in a contrasting hue. Experiment with your favorite color combinations, making each Understorey beanie uniquely your own. This knitting pattern is designed for one size, fitting the average adult head comfortably.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner, the Understorey beanie offers a delightful project that combines both technique and style. Download our pattern today and start creating a beautiful knit hat that’s perfect for chilly days!
