This beanie is made on circular needles which means less finishing after it’s complete. Made with deliciously soft yarn, it’ll make you miss winter and want it to come back so you can sport this little number. Add a pom pom or fur ball to the top for a decorative touch. The stranded design of this beanie makes it a great hat to get familiar with stranded knitting as you won’t have to worry about wrap-arounds while carrying the yarn in the back.
