PRINTING NOTE: This is a checklist pattern; it is not necessary to print the entire pattern if you prefer not to use the checkboxes for each section.

To make a pinky promise, or pinky swear, is a traditional gesture most commonly practiced amongst children involving the locking of the pinkies of two people to signify that a promise has been made.

PATTERN NOTES: The little “bows” of texture stitches on this design reminded me of two little hands connected at the pinky fingers and I couldn’t get that image out of my mind. The hat is a companion piece to the mitts and is worked with 2 texture rounds for every 5 of stockinette and will knit up quickly. The beanie is meant to be knit with 1-2”/2.5-5 cm of negative ease. Video links are provided within the pattern for stitch pattern support.

NOTIONS: stitch markers, tapestry needle
