Stay warm in the chilly fall air with this beanie! This pattern uses large, textured stitches that are fun to make and work up quickly. The texture provides enough interest to make this hat with a single color, but using multiple colors can give you more vibrant look. Size 5 bulky yarn keeps it feeling warm, and using an 8mm hook makes the stitches tight to keep the air out of those big holes . This pattern includes instructions for sizes baby to adult large.
