The Staple Beanie Bundle
The Staple Beanie Bundle
THIS IS A DIGITAL PDF PATTERN. IT IS NOT A FINISHED KNITTED HAT.
Get over 20% off both the Short and Tall Staple Beanies by purchasing them together in this bundle!
The Short and Tall Staple Beanies are knitted beanies that are customizable to your unique head measurements.
The Short Staple Beanie beanie has recommendations for fitting above or over the ears, but you can really make it as short or as long as you want. It is designed to fit flush against your head.
The Tall Staple Beanie is designed with extra length on top, and that length is proportionate to your head circumference.
Both patterns create knitted hats that fit everyone’s head like a dream, and the simple designs make them staples for cold and breezy weather, bad hair days, or whenever you wanna wear a cute beanie!

Pattern Format
Pattern Format
These patterns are written to be customizable to your exact head measurements and can be made with any yarn! For this to work, some calculations have to be complete. There are easy-to-follow formulas written out in the patterns for you. Or, skip the math! In the patterns, you'll find a linked Google Sheet that has all the formulas ready for you. Just plug in your gauge and measurements and all the stitches and rows you need to knit are automatically calculated.
Yarn
Yarn
You can use any weight and any size yarn for these patterns! However, I highly recommend using fingering through worsted yet yarn for the best results.
The recommended yarn for these patterns is Everyday Merino by Twice Sheared Sheep (affiliate link)!
Amount of yarn needed:
The amount of yarn you need depends on what kind of yarn you use and your measurements. Average yardages needed per weight of yarn for an adult-sized beanie are included in the patterns.

Gauge
Gauge
You can use any gauge for both patterns! However, it is very important that you gauge swatch and determine your gauge before working these patterns in order to determine how many stitches and rows you need to work throughout these patterns to get the exact right fit.
Knitting Needles
Knitting Needles
You can use any size needles for these patterns. I recommend using a needle size that creates a nice fabric with the yarn you’ve chosen to work with.
Once you determine your main needle size, you will also need one set of needles a size smaller for working the folded brim. Sizing down your needles for the brim will help make it more fitted.
In terms of types of needles, you need:
- 16” circular needles
- double pointed needles (DPNs) OR 36”+ circular needles to use with the magic loop method
- You will also need an extra needle that is the same size as your main, working needle, or .5mm bigger or smaller. We will use this needle for the cast on method.
Customization Options
Customization Options
- Customizable to your exact head measurements
- The Short Staple Beanie can be made as short or as long as you'd like! Just note that it is designed to sit flush against the top of your head.
- The Tall Staple Beanie's length is predetermined, but you can always adapt the length as you go.
