How to Make a (Reversible) Beanie

Looking for a beanie that not only will keep you warm but will also be comfy and stylish! Look no further, this beanie can be made from any knit fabric of your choosing and is a staple for colder weather. Sizes include Newborn all the way to Adult.

• 1/2 to 3/4 yards of knit fabric
• Sewing Machine
• Self Healing Cutting Mat
• Scissors or Rotary Cutter
• Head Measurement

On a piece of paper, draw a rectangle. For the width, take the circumference of your head and divide it by 4. The length of this rectangle will be the height of the hat, choose from below:

Newborn/Baby: 8 inches

Toddler: 9 inches

Child: 10 inches

Teen/Adult: 12 inches

Then fold the rectangle in half and round off top corners as shown in photo above.

Use template you just created to cut out 4 pieces of fabric.

Lay hat pieces right sides together, creating two sets. It should look inside out. (If making it reversible make sure you have grouped together 1 lining and 1 main piece together.)

Stitch along bottom edge.

Place beanie pieces right side together. (Again if you are doing a reversible beanie make sure 1 lining and 1 main are matched up.

Sew along the edge of the beanie with about a 3/8" seam allowance, leaving about a 1-2" opening. Back stitch on both sides of opening to ensure the seam will not come loose. Use this opening to then turn the beanie right side out.

Fold the opening seam inward and hand stitch closed.

Turn lining into hat and you are done!!
