The beanie is worked in the round from the bottom up. After the wide bottom rib, the beanie is worked in stocking stitch with two purl stitches at each side. The purl stitches form ridges that run up the crown of the head, meeting at the top. The beanie can be worn with either the knit or the purl side out.

Wool is naturally stain and odour resistant and requires less washing than many fibres.
Airing wool garments outside in damp weather can often refresh them and remove odours.
However, when it is time to wash wool garments, here is how we recommend you do it.

DETERGENT / SOAP
Use mild or neutral detergents with a relatively neutral pH level, preferably those marked wool.
Avoid heavy-duty detergents and those containing enzymes or bleaches.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
By hand: Ensure the water temperature is steady, lukewarm or around 28°C/82°F.
Add a small amount of gentle detergent, submerge your wool garment, and soak it until completely saturated.
Rinse two to three times in clean water and ensure the same temperature. If using no-rinse detergent,
skip the rinsing steps. Press the water out of the garment, then roll the garment between clean, dry towels with light pressure. Alternatively, place the garment in a washing bag and gently spin it in the washing machine.
By machine: Use a washing machine with a wool setting and a gentle cycle.

DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
Lay the garment flat on a clean towel and reshape it as needed.
Leave to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
