Hat having pulse, that is (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beanie

'hat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pulse that is' is the wordplay.
'pulse' becomes 'bean' (I've seen this before).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (synonyms).
'bean'+'ie'='BEANIE'

'having' is the link.

(Other definitions for beanie that I've seen before include "Small close-fitting hat" , "cap" , "Topping" , "one on the head" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
