This pattern includes two hats that are designed to coordinate with my Seamless Wrap patterns for babies and children. The TEXTURED BEANIE pattern is a classic style that has been updated with the addition of a rolled brim and sophisticated textured band. PIXIE POINTS is deceptively simple! This adorable hat looks looks like a square when laying flat, but when worn the corners form “kitten ears”. Embellish the points with tassels or pom-poms for even more fun!

Both hats are knit in the round from brim to crown and are suitable for the advanced beginner.

Yarn: In worsted to aran weight yarn you will need approximately 80 (90, 100, 110, 120) yards or 65 (75, 85, 95, 100) meters. If you choose a contrasting color (CC) yarn for the rolled hem, it should be about 10% of your total yardage. The optional textured band uses about 20% of total yardage and yarn is referred to as Color C.
