The Pop Leaf Beanie is, of course, inspired by the Pop Leaf Sweater. I just had to create a matching hat as well, just like I’ve done with many of my sweater designs. (The sweater pattern will also be available soon in English US and Norwegian.)

You can crochet two different versions for both children and adults. The first option has a narrower brim. The second option features a wider brim that can also be folded up, when folded, the hat has the same length and style as the first option, but with a double brim. Alternatively, you can leave the brim unfolded for a longer, slouchy (baggy) style with a wide edge.
