Clever Fox Beanie
This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene.
If you have an adorable person in your life, they probably need this hat. The sample I knit is too small for anyone in our house, but it’s so darn cute that when I needed a hat the other day I checked to see if I could squeeze my head into it. I couldn’t. But that just means I need to knit another one in my own size. And if you squint your eyes, you can almost see a little fox face in the front panel.
Knit in the round from the top down to the brim, this beanie is seamed along the top to make a rectangle. I know, I know – a seam. But it’s only one and it’s super simple. (And if you’re very rebellious like me, you can use your sewing machine. Just don’t tell anyone I said so.)
