About The Chloe Beanie

The Chloe Beanie is a simple and stylish hat. The simple design together with the wide folded brim gives it a contemporary and no-fuss look that makes it easy to wear with any outfit. It’s also a perfect project to knit up when you want a project that you can finish quickly, and it’s a great stash-busting project too.

Kika adjusts the Chloe Beanie, highlighting its folded ribbed brim and soft texture.
