Glagla Beanie – Free PDF Sewing Pattern

Looking for a warm hat you can sew in an afternoon? This free PDF sewing pattern gives you the Glagla Beanie: a two-layer sweatshirt-fabric beanie, for children and adults.

Outer fabric and lining are both sweatshirting, so the hat is soft, covers the ears and needs no bulky material to keep you warm all winter.

✨ A simple, warm, practical beanie

Two pieces, one seam, and a turn inside out. This is the kind of small project that finishes before you lose momentum — and that you can make again for the whole family.

• a warm winter accessory;
• a way to use two coordinating sweatshirt fabrics;
• a quick, genuinely useful gift;
• a gentle first project on knit fabric;
• one pattern covering children and adults.
