Keep your MagnaFlow Waffle Knit Beanie looking great with these simple wash and wear tips. Learn how to wash, dry, and store your knit beanie the right way.

Quick answer

Hand wash your MagnaFlow Waffle Knit Beanie in cold water with a mild detergent, then lay it flat to dry. This preserves the waffle knit texture and the woven label.

Why hand washing is best for your beanie

Machine washing can stretch or distort the waffle knit fabric, and the agitation may loosen the woven MagnaFlow label. Hand washing keeps the beanie's shape and the label securely attached.

If you must use a machine, place the beanie in a mesh laundry bag and select the gentle cycle with cold water. Skip the spin cycle to reduce stress on the fibers.

Drying: flat is the rule

Never wring out your beanie or toss it in a dryer. The heat can shrink the acrylic or cotton blend, and the tumbling action can pill the surface. Instead, gently press out excess water with a clean towel, then reshape the beanie and lay it flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight.

A wet beanie can take 12–24 hours to dry completely. Rotate it once halfway through to speed up the process.

Step-by-step beanie care routine

Step 1: Pre-treat stains: Spot-clean any dirt or oil with a dab of mild detergent and a soft cloth. Rub gently, then rinse the area with cold water. Avoid soaking the whole beanie unless it needs a full wash. Pre-treating prevents stains from setting and reduces the need for frequent full washes.
Step 2: Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a teaspoon of mild detergent. Submerge the beanie and gently swish it for 2–3 minutes. Do not scrub or twist the fabric. Hot water can shrink the beanie and fade the gray color. Always use cold water.
Step 3: Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with fresh cold water. Swish the beanie to remove all detergent. Repeat until no suds remain. Leftover detergent can cause stiffness and skin irritation. Rinse until the water runs clear.
Step 4: Remove excess water: Lay the beanie flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll the towel up gently and press to absorb moisture. Do not wring or twist the beanie. Rolling in a towel is the safest way to remove water without distorting the waffle knit.
Step 5: Reshape and air dry: Unroll the towel and reshape the beanie to its original dimensions. Lay it flat on a drying rack or a fresh towel, away from direct heat or sunlight. Let it dry completely before wearing. Hanging the beanie while wet can stretch it out of shape. Always dry flat.
