The Easie Beanie Pattern includes 8 sizes to fit new born to adult large. It is knit in the round on circular knitting needles from the bottom up and finished up on double pointed needles. Stitches are picked up from the cast on edge to create the rounded knit hem. Symmetrical decreases are used to shape the crown. There are 3 mini video tutorials for the long tail cast on, knit hem, and one for the decreases used to shape the crown.

Wear it slouchy, folded with a wide brim, push it back off your forehead, roll it up. Knit one for yourself, then one for your bestie, and how adorable is the concept of baby and me. A quick knit you can finish over a weekend. Make one, make many.
