This beanie shaped hat design sheet is versatile. It has many ideas and options for you to either use my pattern or create your own. You can have a lot of fun deciding on your own colours or even your star motif – but the hat shape will come out the same if you use 2:5mm needles. If you use 3mm needles, the hat will be more of a slouchy shape.

Please NOTE that the yarn originally used for this pattern has now been discontinued by Rowan. There are other alternatives which use 3mm needles.
