The Harborview beanie uses the simple combination of knits and purls to create a subtly textured pattern. This stitch pattern can be played up or down depending on your yarn fiber and color choices. For example, a fuzzy alpaca yarn will make the texture much harder to detect, but a smooth tonal superwash yarn might allow the purl bumps to really shine.

This beanie is designed for a close-fit, but options have been provided to increase the brim and height to your preference. Note that any increase in brim or height will affect yarn amounts.

This pattern has been tech edited and tested.
