Birchwood Beanie | Easy Knit Hat Pattern

Please Note: This listing is for a KNITTING PATTERN only, not a finished product. You will receive a digital, downloadable file of instructions to knit this hat. If you would like to purchase a finished hat, please check my shop listings for a finished product!

Named for the little town across the lake from where I live, the Birchwood Beanie is my take on that popular store-bought acrylic hat that everyone wears. I wanted a lightweight hat with a beautiful decrease that poufs a bit at the top and looks nice without a pom pom. This is the hat I'll be running errands in.

Knit with a worsted/aran weight alpaca blend "blown yarn," this hat is lightweight, airy, soft, yet still warm.
