Once we saw the excitement around our Westminster hat pattern, we just had to design a complimentary (little) pattern for the kiddos too! The Little ‘Minster has the same great texture as the adult pattern but in bite-sized form. The final knit product is more aesthetically complex than a simple stockinette beanie without added complications. Now that it’s hat weather you and your littles can keep your noggins cozy in matching knitwear. We hope you enjoy this fun, quick knit and stay toasty during the cold months ahead.
