Shrimp Happens was designed for my shrimp loving husband, Cole. He is and always will be the true champion of the Endless Shrimp promotion. May Red Lobster Rest in Peace.

This pattern is for an adult sized beanie (one size fits most). Finished measurements are 20” in diameter and 7” tall.

The brim is folded and joined by picking up the provisional cast on stitches on a second circular needle, then joining the brim in the K1P1 pattern. There are many fantastic videos on YouTube if you are unfamiliar with this method.
