A beanie is a great first kniiting-in-the-round project: a skill that opens many knitting possibilities.
This hat was designed as a “next step” project for my knitting class, to go with my little animal scarves.

The smallest size used just 32g of yarn 2-4 used 35g, 6-8 used 42g, 10-12 used 48g and teen used 56g.

It is a neat fitting beanie, but could easily be made slouchy by adding a few (or many) extra straight rows before decreasing.
