Quinzhee Beanie

/ˈkwɪnzi/

“A Canadian snow shelter that is made from a large pile of loose snow which is shaped then hollowed to create a domed chamber inside. A quinzhee can be made for winter camping and survival purposes, or for fun.”

The Quinzhee Beanie is snuggly, stretchy Aran weight beanie designed to keep you warm if you ever found yourself taking shelter in a quinzhee! The beanie is knit from the top (crown) down, creating a ‘domed’ shape as you knit. It’s ribbed design gives it stretch and allows it to hug your head nicely with the right amount of negative ease. Quinzhee is generously sized from baby right through to adult XL and three different brim options are available: standard single thickness brim, double thickness folded brim or a double thickness secured brim.
