*** The website on which this post was listed is now down. I don’t have my own copy of the pattern as my computer crashed a few years ago and I lost the data. I have written the webmaster to see if my patterns may be retrievable. Stay tuned. I am hoping. ****

This pattern was knit on an Authentic Knitting Board which is adjustable to obtain gauge. As this technique creates a double knit fabric, this beanie will be extra warm. There is some crocheting involved to finish off the hat. It isn’t fully necessary, the straps could be made on a knitting nancy to create i-cord. The picot edge is simply decorative and not integral to the hats structure.
