Level of Difficulty - Easy
Who doesn’t love a set of matching beanies for the whole family? Kit out everyone in this set of beanies, from small baby through to large adult and in coordinating yarns. This simple design can be used as a blank canvas of your choice of colourwork patterns, or use up scraps with stripes! The average adult will take the adult size, whereas the large adult size is there for people with lots of wild hair and a big noggin (like me). Head sizes vary a lot, so choose the size based on measurement rather than these approximate ages.
