A quick and fun project !

Big Heart Beanie is worked in the round from the brim to the top, with a nice Heart stitch, soft and thick. The pompom is optional.
It is very stretchy and fits most adults, teens and children over 6 years old.
If you want it more slouchy, you can add rounds before the decreases.
