The North Shore Beanie is a timeless hat that features a triple brim for added warmth. It is knitted from the bottom up, showcasing a minimal yet decorative decrease on either side, while the front and back maintain stockinette.

The North Shore Beanie has around 3” [7.5 cm] of negative ease. So sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to a head circumference of 20 (21) 22 (23) 24” [51 (53) 56 (58.5) 61 cm] (the final size of beanie will be 3” [7.5 cm]) less than the overall circumference. This means that if you measure a 21” [53 cm] head circumference you will make size (S) with a finished circumference of 18” [45 cm]. Sample shown modeled is wearing size (S) with approx. 3” [7.5 cm] negative ease.
