Top 3 Beanie Trends for 2025: Styles People Are Loving

At Fourbital Factory, we love seeing how headwear design evolves each season. Looking ahead to 2025, here’s what we’re seeing from across the industry, and how it shapes what we’re knitting here in Vermont.

“Chaotic” Customization                  

According to Vogue Business, Gen Z is driving a wave of “chaotic customisation”. Think layered patches, bold embroidery, and one-of-a-kind details. For brands, this means customization isn’t just about logos, but full creative expression.

Textured Knits

Team Sunday highlights the shift toward chunky ribs, waffles, and mixed-stitch textures. This matches what our Vermont machines are humming on right now—beanies that feel as good as they look.

Color & Pattern Play

While neutrals always have a place, sites like Caps Apparel point to bold accents, gradients, and tie-dyes leading 2025 color palettes. Our custom yarn library makes these designs possible in small or large runs.

At the end of the day, the biggest through-line is personal expression. Whether it’s eco materials, playful textures, or bold customization, today’s custom beanies are about creating something that feels authentic and built to last.
