Beanies, apart from being practical items for your family & friends, are also a lot of fun to make. The problem, however, is that no two heads are the same & no one pattern can cater to the differences. The following, presuming you’re working from the top of the head down, is a simple guide that I trust will be helpful with your beanie creations.
