This pattern is very simple if you follow it step by step and don’t deviate even when it doesn’t seem to be working.

I can make this in less than a day making it a great last minute gift.
It takes less than 100g of DK yarn (I usually use acrylic) but equivalent can be used.
I have also used WW and a 5mm hook to make it for 3+ months.

Feel free to tell me if you find any mistakes.

I used this free pattern for the beanies

I am seeing lots making the same 2 errors: First every increase is 3 stitches in the same stitch not the usual 2

You must count the front stitches and trust I have counted them and know how many there should be, those that think they know better get a wonky front edge that is too long. Those that follow the pattern have a great result.
