Basic Beanie Pattern

While working on the shell-stitch baby girl pattern I realized that I needed a little boy beanie to sell at the market. Of course you can definitely make it for a little girl too :) Here is a preview of the pattern for the 3-6 months size. Also, I would suggest using Caron Simply Soft yarn for the best results! (Substitute any Medium (4 ply) weight yarn.)

In the full pattern you will find preemie, newborn, 3-6 month, 6-12 month, toddler, child, and adult sizes.
