When I wear this hat I want nothing more than to walk through the crisp fall air, trudge through crunching leaves and sip on some hot chai tea. This is a beautifully simple design great for beginners and seasoned knitters alike. The hat features a double or single brim, eyelet, stockinette and purl stitch detailing.&nbsp; This beanie is fun to knit and it works up quickly! If you are a visual learner don\u2019t worry I\u2019ve got you covered.
