The Gifty Beanie design is perfect for gift knitting for everyone. The pattern is graded to make hats to fit all sizes. The sample is knit with Malabrigo Yarns Rios. I’m particularly fond of the way this stitch pattern looks with hand dyed yarns, but solids and tonals are nice as well. The stitch pattern is an interesting texture and wonderfully stretchy.

The pattern is written to be a fitted beanie, but if you prefer a slouchier fit, just knit the body longer before proceeding with the decrease section.

Sizes (to fit): Preemie 11-12” (23-30 cm), Newborn 13-15” (33-38 cm), Baby 15-17” (38-43 cm), Toddler 18-20” (46-51 cm) (Child 19-21” (48-53 cm), Adult Small/Medium 21-22” (53-56 cm) , Adult Large 23-24” (58-61 cm))

If you would like to knit a matching set, Gifty Mitts and Gifty Cowl are available.
