Enjoy this great looking beanie pattern. I knitted mine from a Knit kit.

The new Blue skies beanie shows off an intricate cable pattern that is easier to knit than you may think. So even if you have not cabled before, you can do this.
It grows incredibly quickly in the new and fabulously soft Speckled cake as shown here, a bulky weight yarn as shown here with a feel that is out of this world, so squishy soft.
As you can see in the photos there is a matching Blue skies cowl as well.

The pattern is fully written and includes a chart as well for your knitting pleasure. The sizes are 19.5” and 22” in circumference.

If you are looking for fun gifts to create, this may just be it.
