Cassia Beanie

Cassia is a girl’s name of Greek origin meaning “cinnamon.” And if cinnamon is the perfect spice for fall, this project is the perfect accessory. Knit in a combination of 2×2 rib, broken rib and mock cables, this stretchy hat fits a wide range of sizes making it ideal for both guys and gals. Plus, its longer brim allows for the perfect fit: simply fold it higher for a snugger fit or shorter for a more relaxed look.
