Pattern Description:

Easy, easy, easy...

This beanie has the look of crochet, but it is entirely knit! Don't let the crochet hook fool you; it's for putting the beads on the beanie as you knit. Beading is very simple using this technique and the knitting pattern is also an easy one to remember making this a very portable project. You'll want to make dozens!

This is a perfect head covering for the warmer months but when there is still a slight chill in the air. It will complete any holiday outfit as a nice finishing touch. Change out the bow or flower barrettes to match outfits.

Permission is granted to sell the finished beanies. Please give me credit for the pattern.
