Wild & Woolly Beanie Knitting Pattern

This is the beanie you can knit in an evening — two at most.

Perfect for sending to family in the Northern Hemisphere braving a chilly winter, or for keeping you warm and stylish through the New Zealand cooler months, this is a quick, satisfying project you’ll want to knit again and again.

This much-loved beanie even caught the eye of Nadia Lim and was featured in the Winter Edition of her lifestyle magazine — a beautiful publication celebrating the very best of New Zealand.

It ticks all the boxes: simple to knit, made from natural fibres, and finished with a beautifully soft possum fur pom pom.
