Knitting pattern to make a beautiful stretchy ribbed beanie

Instructions for 2 sizes given. 2- 6 years and 6-12 years (to be honest the larger size will probably also stretch to fit a small adult head).

Knitted flat on straight needles. There is a little sewing up to do when completed.

To make this item you will need:

Pair of 10mm/US15 Straight needles

1 x 100g ball (or 2x50g) of Chunky Merino Super Chunky/Super Bulky soft yarn like Big Crocodile Cosy Up Super Chunky Merino, Sirdar Big Softie or Rico Design Essentials Super Super Chunky

Sewing up needle and some scissors

Quick and easy to knit - if you can knit, purl, cast on and decrease by knitting 2 together you can easily make this hat
