Hello, thank you for your interest to my pattern. Its absolutly begginers friendly and gender free. It is avaliable in size toddler and in size teen-adult. I have 2 more sizes to test (preschool and grade schooler), so if you woud like to test it DM me in my instagram. A classic look, beautiful, yet simple to knit. And it’s unusual crown shaping makes it eye catching. The ribbing stitches create a really good fit. Enjoy!stitches create a stitches create really good fit. Enjoy!
