Garter Stitch Baby Beanie

This charming little beanie is expertly crafted in the round from the bottom up, making it an enjoyable and straightforward project for knitters of all levels. Adding a large, playful pompom to the crown not only enhances its cuteness but also adds a fun finishing touch!

Sizing: Available in multiple sizes: 3-6 months (6-12 months, 1-2 years, 3-4 years). To fit a head circumference: 15 (17, 19, 20) inches. This range ensures a snug and comfortable fit for your little ones at every stage of their early development.

Small hats like this beanie are perfect for stash diving, allowing you to utilize partial balls of yarn leftover from previous projects. For this particular pattern, I recommend using 2 strands of 4 ply/fingering weight yarn held together, which not only creates a warm and cozy fabric but also gives you the opportunity to mix and match colors for a delightful marled effect. You'll be amazed at the satisfaction of transforming your yarn scraps into a practical and beautiful accessory that your little one will adore!

This adorable beanie pattern is part of the Living Lightly collection, which emphasizes sustainability and creativity in your knitting.
