The Millennial Beanie Free Pattern
Over here at Clickety Sticks we grew up in the 80’s/90’s. Although Karrie and I were born a decade apart, we are both still considered millennials. We’ve always had our own personal styles but some things in common too. With the new debate between Gen Y vs Gen Z in the style department we thought this would be a fun pattern guaranteed to make everyone smile.
Make sure everyone knows you’re rocking the side part up in here with our newest beanie pattern!
Also can we take minute to look at that “S” on the hat?! If you know you know (insert laughing emoji here)!
This hat is a great pattern for stash diving. Get creative and experiment with using multiple colors the possibilities are endless. For an inexpensive, easy to print version click here.
I hope you enjoy knitting this hat as much as I did!

Hat is knit in the round from the brim up. Pattern is suitable for a beginner looking to expand into simple colorwork.
