7 Ways to Fold and Style Your Beanie

Using One and the Same Beanie as an Example.

P.S: The beanie is our own Eastfold

How to Wear Your Beanie: The Single Fold

1. The Tested and Tried

The Single Fold— Covering The Ears

If you pull almost any beanie off the shelves, it is likely to be pre-folded like this. It’s the oldie goldie; the tested and tried.Keeps your ears warm, and avoids any potential controversy.

2. The Old School

The Double Fold— or Fisherman Beanie Style

A timeless, classic look. A key style tip here is that the tilt changes the appearance quite a bit. A somewhat straight horizontal tilt is a good starting point. (Though the main rule of beanie wearing is you do whatever you want.)

3. The Loose Fit

The Slouchy Beanie (Without an Edge Fold)

Often worn by people with a lot of hair, to wrap it all up in the beanie. But as with all beanie styles, it’s not a rule.It’s common to drag it back and scrunch up any extra material in the neck.

How to Wear Your Beanie: The Rolled Up Beanie Style

4. The Next Level

The Rolled Up Beanie

It’s sort of the fisherman beanie on steroids. Rolling your beanie tightly rather than folding it creates this very particular minimalist look.

5. A Single-fold Variation

The Single fold Above the Ears (Type 1)

The very wide fold and the tight fit is a less commonly used style, but it has been growing on me lately.

How to Wear Your Beanie: Slouchy Beanie With Edge Fold

6. A Slouchy Variation

The Slouchy Beanie With an Edge fold

No one forces you to leave your slouchy beanie without an edge fold. So here we go. Loose in the neck, but with a tiny fold to frame your crown.

7. A Single-fold Variation

The Single fold Above the Ears (Type 2)

A narrower single fold gives you more material so your beanie can stand up, and perhaps scout your surroundings for you. (Or tell your friends that you are approaching through a crowd.)

. . .Yeah, there's a story behind these beanies

Since my grandma began knitting in 1932, the tradition has stood strong in our family, and when we started our company in 2016, we kept it the same way. Every thing you buy from us is still knit in homes along the Norwegian South Coast.
