This is a fun pattern to show off some of that great hand-dyed solid/semi solid yarn that we all love to hoard but not use. This is a basic beanie concept, just with textured stitches on a reverse stockinette background.

There are 3 size options and they are all based on how many times you repeat the pattern rows.
-The first size is a skull cap that is also good for people with shorter hair or who wear their hats behind bangs. It also will fit a teen or large child quite well. My ten year old steals mine all the time.
-The second size is a standard adult sized beanie.
-The third size is a slouch or tall beanie, depending on how you want to wear it.

I know the pictures aren’t the greatest, I don’t have any help to take them for the time being so I had to work with what I had :)
