It’s surprisingly difficult to find a simple, basic baby beanie pattern. (Probably because it’s so easy most people don’t bother writing it down.) Every now and again, though, you really don’t want to figure out how big to make it or how many increase rounds you need…here’s a pattern for those days. At gauge, this will fit a 15-inch head, which means it should fit even the largest newborn and probably a month or two after birth, as well.
