ABOUT THE PATTERN
A hand knit beanie was requested by my husband and then by each of my children so I created this beanie.
Quick and easy to make and only requiring one skein of yarn, this makes an excellent gift knit! This one by one ribbed beanie is knit in the round so there are no seams.
The pattern is sized for children through adults.

The fit is intended to be snug with no slouch. To make a looser, slouchier hat go up a size or two depending on your desired fit.
