This delightfully thick, warm beanie will keep the cold at bay. The ear flaps provide extra protection to make sure tHat/beanie no matter where the beanie sits on your head, you're covered!
This is a double knitted piece, meaning it is fully reversible. Both layers are worked at the same time. The ear flaps are worked flat, and incorporated into the beanie, which is then knitted in the round.
The pattern provides detailed instructions, so even if you've never double knitted before, the skills are broken down to help you get there.
The pattern contains the chart for the turtles featured in the photos, as well as two different options for the ear flaps. In addition, there are tips & tricks for incorporating other charts onto the beanie! Get creative and see where your imagination can take you!
