Tuesday, January 14, 2020: Part One
Tuesday, January 21, 2020: Part Two

This beanie is made by creating a rectangle and then seaming the brim on and sewing the top closed. Finally, an optional pompom can be added on the top! This beanie is meant to fit loose and “slouchy,” if you do not want a slouchy fit, there are directions for how to make a standard beanie, as well.

You will begin Part One of this CAL by choosing your yarn colors, you stripe pattern, swatching the gauge and working up the rectangle that will become your beanie.

In Part Two of this CAL you will assemble your beanie; sew in loose ends, close the top, seam up the brim, and add on a pompom. It’s as simple as that! In no time you will have a beautiful beanie for the cold winter months.
