When one of my best friends decided on a monster theme for her first child, I knew I could have some fun making something to fit the theme! I designed these textured beanies to be easily personalized so any quick growing little monster could have a different monster design with each growth spurt for the first 12 months. This pattern includes sizes for newborn, 3-6 months, and 6-12 months with instructions for eyes, horns, and teeth to decorate however you choose. The textured pattern of the hat is made to mimic monster skin for an extra detail that is hard to overlook.

Made with a light weight yarn (3), this pattern is perfectly compatible with Lion Brand Mandala. Mix and match cakes for lots of color variation, or let the fade work as intended within the cake.
