This pattern currently comes in 3 sizes: 12/36 months, 3 to 10 years and Youth/Adult Small and is worked from the bottom up.

I used Red Heart Soft to design this beanie, but Caron Simply Soft would pair nicely with this pattern as well.

I used a 5mm size H crochet hook and used approximately 145 yards to make the largest size beanie.

It is rated Experienced Beginners in pattern difficulty.  All the stitches used are basic crochet stitches, though some require skipping stitches, then crossing behind and stitching into the skipped stitches.
