Ziggy is a fun to knit little seamless beanie for all; the big and the small. The beanie is adorned with a simple little zig zag stitch pattern that makes for an easy but interesting knit. Worked from the brim up, attention to finishing details make for the perfect winter accessory!

Sizing:
Sized for head circumference of 12 to 24 inches/30.5 to 61cms
The seven sizes in the range fits approximately newborn to large adult.
