This teenie beanie is perfect for ornaments, garlands, dolls, plushies, and plants! The simple fair isle design with three contrasting colors makes it a little more interesting than the simple teenie beanie.

Difficulty Level
This is an advanced beginner pattern. Besides the basic knit and purl stitch, you’ll need to know how to knit in the round with double-pointed needles, decrease by knitting two stitches together, make a pom pom, and do simple stranded color change.

Gauge
Gauge is not critical for this pattern. If you want a larger beanie, you can use a bulkier-weight yarn or a larger needle size. For a smaller beanie, you can use a lighter-weight yarn or smaller needle size. Final measurements (with pom pom) are 3in by 2.5in (7.62cm x 6.35cm).

Materials
