Minis, we all have them!

The arrived via swaps, yarn clubs, left overs or advent calendars!
They grace our homes, they fill up bowls, bags and baskets, they truly are lovely little balls of yarn.

LIke many of you I needed a way to use them up, so the Mini Madness Beanie born.

This lovely mosaic colourwork beanie, can use up to 6, 20g minis. For the largest size. Or those little 10g minis are perfect for a baby, toddler or child’s beanie.

Mix and match colours, colour wash it, you could fade it, use only 2 colours, or 1 main skein with lots of pops of colour. The possibilities are endless, you only have to use your imagination. Use that yarn left over from your latest jumper or shawl.

This beanie is quick to knit beanie suitable for everyone, and would make an amazing gift.

This beanie is all about using up what we have and finding joy in the memories of the yarn used.

It comes in 4 sizes and is great for gift knitting.

I hope you enjoy making it as much as I have.
