Merino Beanies, hand knitted.

[Kattt]

These beanies are made with 100% washable ans stretchy Merino wool. They weigh between 45 and 52 grams. They are a lightweight 3 season for California. The smartwool beanie is slightly heavier, but having two layers, it is probably a little warmer. I made two styles. The more minimal has a rolled edge that you pull down your ears. The other style has a folded edge. Price is $28.00 shipped. I will take back, exchange and fix any hat I make.

These are unisex and fit small through large.

#2 and #4 and #7 are SOLD

Number seven has sold. Thanks

I just received mine in the mail less than an hour ago…it's beautiful, incredibly soft & warm. Thank you Kat, it's even nicer than I had thought, or heard from others. I'll be buying these as gifts!

Can you do one in all black?

[Kattt]

I have one all in black, with the doubled over edge, not rolled.

I have to say i really like the Hat I bought from Kat at the BPL Coe event. We all talk about buying goods from American workers well here is the chance! Handmade top quality wool Hats with a guarantee. Thanks Kat!

Kat I love my beenie, "Thanks" Just to let others know how mine works. I wore it on the Henry Coe trip, I especially liked wearing it that night with my sleep system, I normaly wear a fleece balaclava at night, but I tried Kats beenie and it works really well, by that I mean, when I wear the balaclava my head tends to get a little hot, and I'm always adjusting it to cool off, unless it gets into the 20's, then I don't fiddle with it so much, but with Kats beenie my head stayed warm and could still vent, so I didn't get that sweaty feeling in the middle of the night. Thanks again Kat. My daughter also loves her Noen green w/black stripes, so do the kids at her school that keep trying to steel it. This is my "GO TO BEENIE" from now on, or untill it wears out and I need to buy another one from you.

I received my beanie today; thank you very much. It is exactly as advertised (and a little more). I would recommend these to anyone considering one.

Lightweight, super soft, and obviously handmade with care. It seems to be warm enough, as Kat wrote, for 3-season California wear, but not so heavy that I can't wear it while on the move, hiking when the wind or cold is too much for my baseball cap.

The craftsmanship and materials are excellent, and thankfully the sizing is good. I wear a 7 1/2 to 7 5/8 in fitted ball caps, and this fits perfectly without being too snug or too loose. It covers my ears as well, which is important to me, as this will be my backpacking beanie (I got one of the folded edge beanies).

Kat's communication was prompt and courteous, and the beanie arrived within days of my sending payment. Probably my favorite thing about it is the handmade nature; I'm confident I won't run into anyone on the trail wearing this beanie! :-)

Is Kattt still making these hats? After 10 years of good service, I could use another.

I do not know the answer first hand but a few years ago her website said that she had a hand injury and was unfortunately no longer making hats. And a few months ago I did read an article that she has pursued stealth photography of wild animals.

Chad – thanks for the update. I saw all that too, including her foray into wildlife photography. Looks like I have to find another place to get a hat.

Sean Emery (Shug) who is active at HammockForums has a daughter who hand makes wool hats. I don’t own one so I cannot vouch for the quality.
