Thank you all. I am so pleased and proud to write that one organisation even knitted 200 of the London Beanies and sent them to the refugees in Afghanistan. Tribute: This pattern is a gift to all of those people who helped me with the original London beanie, and especially to the literally hundreds of you who have written me to thank me and inspire me to write more. It is still a snug cap, although it is roomier than the London Beanie. This cap has been very prized and loved by those who have received one. Designed by Mark Thrailkill, London - After designing the London Beanie, I have made some refinements to it and have made it more of a traditional British seaman’s cap.
