Double Brim Chevron Beanie
"DESCRIPTION A slouchy, cozy, lightweight beanie with a lovely chevron pattern and double brim. This quick and easy design will keep you warm and stylish! The lightweight merino wool yarn makes for a soft and comfy beanie and the stripes bring out the beautiful chevron design. This beanie is made by creating a rectangle and then seaming the brim on and sewing the top closed. Finally, an optional pompom can be added on the top! This beanie is meant to fit loose and ‘slouchy;’ if you do not want a loose fit, there are directions for how to make a standard beanie, as well.
