This textured beanie was inspired by a pattern in a patchwork blanket.

Gauge is not too important for this piece. It uses slightly less than one skein of Cuddles by Crystal Palace Yarns.

Use a size 9 needle if you tend to knit tightly; otherwise, a size 8 will do just fine.

This beanie will probably be a bit too large for a newborn, but they will grow into it!

Adding a pom-pom gives this beanie that extra touch of cuteness!

Please let me know if there are any problems in the pattern. I have made multiple beanies from this pattern, but I only recently recorded the pattern in writing on my blog.
