About this deal
The most important measurement for a beanie is the head circumference. This is the measurement around the forehead. The length of the beanie may also be required and this will be the length from where the beanie will sit on the forehead to the crown of the head. How do you sew a lining in a beanie?
One side of the hat (shown here in Pewter) is dense for warmth on even the coldest days. The alternating stitches add interest and texture. Size: Teen/Women’s Small (Youth and Women’s M and L instructions are included in the premium pattern available here. Beanies are best sewn from a knit fabric with stretch. Most patterns recommend between a 40-75% stretch to snugly fit around the head. You can choose from a lightweight knit like a jersey to a heavier weight knit like a polar fleece depending on the level of warmth you want to achieve. What is the best beanie material for warmth? Fleece, wool, and sweater knit fabrics are best for keeping out the cold. Jersey beanies can be lined with a micro fleece or similar to increase warmth in lightweight fabrics. What measurements do you need for a beanie? Lined beanies are often sewn using the “bagging out” lining method. This means that the outer layer and the lining are assembled separately, and then both parts are sewn together with right sides facing around the bottom opening. The hat will then be turned right side out through a gap that’s left in the lining.Suitable for beginners? Yes, I think a confident beginner could sew this pattern since the style is simple and a stable fabric like cotton jersey can be used. Some previous experience sewing with knits might be helpful for sewing with more drapey jerseys but the hat would provide a great opportunity to practice.
