This pattern is a terrific beginners pattern. It is easy to follow with simple stitches. The Bulky version of the Jimothy Beanie comes in four sizes to fit everyone in the family. X-Small - 6” tall by 12” around (Small - 7” tall by 15” around, Medium - 8” tall by 18” around, Large – 8” tall by 21” around). Row count is not as important as your stitch count for your gauge. The largest size in this pattern uses approximately 110 yards of bulky (5) weight yarn. This pattern also has the option and instructions on how to make a slouchy version.
