Lacrosse beanies for the months the cage freezes over: a 100% acrylic fisherman knit with a chunky ribbed cuff you fold to your own depth. One design, three colours, $24.95, and warm enough for a February practice without the itch of wool.
Frequently asked questions
Are they wool or acrylic?
100% acrylic. Warm like wool, but it doesn't itch, doesn't hold sweat smell, and survives a normal wash cycle without losing its shape.
One size?
Yes. The fold-over cuff handles the fit, so there's no separate size run. Roll it twice to pull the hat down over the ears, or once for a shallow fit above them.
Do they fit youth players?
They're cut for adults, but the cuffed fisherman style fits most older youth players. For younger kids, the youth collection is the safer sizing call.
Will it stretch out?
Not through normal wear. The ribbed acrylic knit recovers its shape, which is the main reason it beats wool for a hat that lives in a gear bag.
How do I wash it?
Cold wash, reshape the cuff while it's damp, air dry. Skip the dryer. Acrylic holds up to washing far better than wool, but heat is what shortens any knit's life.
