Description:
Even beginning knitters can make this stylish, gender-friendly, folded brim beanie that can be worn high-top or more fitted! Worked in the round on circular needles, instructions for a one-size adult and one-size child beanie are included in two weights--light bulky and worsted.

The pattern includes options for a one or multi-colored beanie with/without cables in the body section, and with all versions ending in a pretty cabled crown, so no pom necessary (unless you want one). Using only knit, slip stitch and front cable stitches, both sizes knit up surprisingly quickly in a rhythmic and repetitive knit with great results. It’s a perfect candidate for market prep! It’s fast and with its subtle cables and colorful options, you can make many unique hats to suit just about anyone! Even sports fans will love it in favorite team colors! Hence the name--the Simply Me Beanie is simply for you and as personal as you want it to be!

Pattern is written in US terms for circular needles and includes tables and links to video tutorials for clarity. The tables help make the instructions easy to follow, though, reading pattern throughly before beginning is recommended. It is also the perfect pattern for using up your left-over stash of yarn!

Adult beanie fits approximately 18-22” head circumference.
Child beanie fits approximately 14-18” head circumference.
Using recommended yarn will allow hat to stretch comfortably.

Skill level:
Moderately easy pattern suitable for knitters with only a little experience. Results in a beautiful traditional hat, with a classic and stunning crown. No pompom required!
