Beanies are everywhere these days for good reason - a great shape on almost every head, and this one fits even the biggest Mouse noggin with a little room to spare - not slouchy, but also not too snug. Holding two strands of Rowan Kid Classic on larger needles makes this cushy, soft topper a speedy knit. Done in no time!

And you’ll have lots of fun playing with color combinations. Keep the colors close in value like our sample - creamy and pale grey, or play with higher contrast for more pop. Over twenty shades to choose from!
