This pattern offers a fun alternative to commonly constructed beanie hats. Using approximately 150-160 yards of sock weight yarn and size 3 needles, you build this hat using short row sections. Accent rows are inserted along the way forming a wonderful look of color and style. A light weight and snug fitting beanie, it wears well in most all seasons and climates.
