DESCRIPTION:
The Alaska Beanie was a creation I made with some left overs of my favorite yarn in the fall of 2017. I loved how it turned out and wore it to Alaska for my Honeymoon. Since then, I have expanded the pattern to include sizes for the whole family. This pattern is a cozy fitted beanie style with a folded brim. The design has a fun yet simple texture that shows off the beauty of the hand-dyed yarn. The pattern is for a solid colored hat but you can change colors for stripes if you like. It’s made with superwash merino wool that is extra soft and durable. Pattern includes sizes for Newborn through Adult Large (head circumferences of 12-27 inches).
