This is a miniature version of the adult Pearmain hat, especially designed for little babies’ heads.

It is an easy knit and a purled fancy rib adds interest to the project, but is easy to memorise.

The cast on edge gives a neat purled appearance and the decreases finish tidily in pattern around the crown, giving this beanie a traditional and fully professional finish.

This pattern provides links to online video tutorials in order to carry out the specific techniques required.
