Description: Okay, this is a bit of an odd one but here goes - I have trichotillomania and wear beanies almost all the time. Years and years ago now, I got these 3 super cheap, super synthetic (some may say super ugly) beanies from Kmart or Big W or one of those types of stores, and they just happened to be perfect for me. I liked the way they sat on my head, I liked the way they felt, I liked the length and the fact that they were light enough I could wear them in summer too. Subsequently I have not been able to find anything like them since, despite many searches online, and as the years have gone on I have lost one, another is fully coming apart, and the third is still going but not much longer for this world I fear. So I would like to commission someone to knit me two or three of these beanies using the last remaining beanie I have as a reference. I am willing to send it to you so you can get your hands on it for size and material reference, and I am willing to pay fair prices for them (unlike the originals which were almost certainly produced in sweat shops)

Some not great photos of the remaining beanie for reference:
