This is a shaped beanie which frames the face beautifully. The crown of the beanie sits directly on top of the head, not to the back like a traditional beanie. This allows the Pom Pom to sit more towards the face and allows it to be a feature. This pattern is slightly different in its construction and is extremely well fitting. As in most of my patterns, I have included multiple sizes and made the pattern fit to one page which I prefer. You simply find your size down the first column then follow that row across until you reach the decrease column, then work up through the decreases. Then continue on to the band. I hope you enjoy this pattern. Merry Christmas!
